Clara has loved Ethan for as long as she can remember. He's her brother's best friend, her neighbor, the boy she's quietly adored since childhood. Every laugh, every ordinary day, he's been there- unaware of the way her heart beats faster whenever he's around.
But as senior year unfolds, something changes. A misunderstanding, a secret revealed, a harsh word spoken-and suddenly, the boy she's been in love with for years is out of reach. The friendship that felt unshakeable fractures, and for two long years, they stop talking, carrying their regrets and unspoken feelings into separate lives.
Now, fate has a way of bringing people back together. Whether by coincidence, circumstance, or stubborn hearts, Clara and Ethan will have to face the past they never resolved, and the feelings that never went away.
