Through the years, it never went away like expected. Avoiding him didn't help, running away didn't help, or even trying to cut ties between them. Kaira gave up and tried to act normal around him, but it's never easy hiding something from someone who knows you inside and out.

She decided if she couldn't be with him, she would pick who would. Maybe a solid relationship will stop Declan from sleeping around.

They both thought their friendship was forever, Kaira and Declan even made a pact, that now means nothing.

When a girlfriend with unnerving jealousy comes in and cuts their ties, Kaira has to realize if her feelings are truly worth going through all this pain, or if someone else would be better. Will Declan be too late to claim his happy ever after? Or just a second too late.
