18andup aria childhoodfriends couples love

Aria came to college to stay small, quiet, and unnoticed. Saige walked onto campus already carrying the weight of a hockey legacy he never chose. Their lives should've stayed parallel-close enough to see, never close enough to touch. But one moment of collision changes everything. Saige, the star player, has too much pressure on his back. Aria, the girl who's spent years slipping through the cracks. And between their families? A feud old enough that their connection feels like a crime. Still... they can't stay away. Not when every stolen moment feels like the only place they can breathe. A college romance tangled in ice, rivalry, and the kind of forbidden pull that refuses to let go. Both POVs.
