Evelyn "Evie" Conklin, the older half-sister of Belly and Steven, hasn't spent a summer at Cousins Beach in four years. Growing up mostly with her dad and navigating the influence of her troubled mother, Evie has always felt slightly apart from her family being the closest to Steven and distant from Belly, while quietly keeping her own secrets. But she has stayed in touch with Conrad Fisher all this time: late-night texts, shared thoughts, and book recommendations that kept a fragile bond alive across the distance. Now, with Evie's return, old sparks flare and unspoken feelings surface. Conrad, burdened by family pressure and grief, finds himself drawn to her in ways he can't ignore. As the summer unfolds, both must navigate the pull of past connections, the weight of family dynamics, and the undeniable chemistry that has grown between them. In a summer full of light and shadow, Evie and Conrad may discover that love doesn't wait and neither should they.
