When Theo Maddox moves back to Greenbridge and strolls into sixth form like he never left, Arabella Reed's world flips upside down. He's taller now. Stronger. Still her childhood best friend-but somehow not just that anymore. Their legendary Friday pizza nights haven't changed, but everything else has. Especially the way people look at her now that he's around.
Bella never expected to feel this confused. Or to have a date lined up with the charming Jamie Wells while Theo hovers at the edge of something more. And Theo? He's convinced he's just being protective-until Bella starts smiling at someone else, and it doesn't feel like friendship anymore. But if he tells her how he really feels, he risks the one thing he's never been willing to lose: her.
A story of missed chances, stolen glances, and the messy magic of growing up-Since You Came Back is a heartwarming, slow-burn romance about friendship, first love, and figuring out what it really means when everything changes... and some things don't.
