Amelia Jet has fallen in love with her best friend and consoling neighbor Kyle Matts. The short distance from house to house makes it easy them to be together. Their relationship deepens and things seem perfect...to good to be true, really. A bitter tragedy strikes and Amelia realizes her relationship's future lies in the hands of Death. All her future and hopes could now lie in the days of sterile hospital beds.
Amelia Johnson has always kept her life under control - until the day she loses her father. Suddenly, she's left juggling responsibilities, emotions, and a quiet ache she can't seem to fix.
The last person she expects to notice is Kyle Marshall - her longtime rival, the guy who's always had a smug grin and a snarky comment ready just for her.
But now, Kyle's different.
He shows up when she needs help. He doesn't push, doesn't ask for anything in return - and it leaves Amelia more confused than comforted.
Kyle doesn't understand it either. He just knows that for the first time, he wants to be there for her, even if he can't explain why.
Neither of them is ready for the way things start to shift - for the quiet moments, the unexpected trust, the feeling that maybe the person you thought you hated was exactly who you needed all along.
Sometimes, the heart knows a sure thing long before you do.
