She loved him quietly for years. He knew-and never cared. Until one day, he did... or at least, she thought he did.
From the first year of college, Lia carried a quiet but unwavering love for Caleb, the charming, unreachable boy who never looked her way. He had a girlfriend, a carefree heart, and a string of flings. She had hope... and a rival. An invisible cold war brewed between her and another girl who liked him too.
But everything changed during one unforgettable bus ride on a field trip. One sleepy moment on her shoulder led to late-night talks, confusing kisses, and a relationship no one expected, least of all Lia. What followed was a love that burned fast, hurt deeply, and left scars that took years to heal.
Tangled in desire, silence, and heartbreak, this is a story of almosts, of loving someone who couldn't love you back the way you deserved-and learning, painfully, how to let go.
