Nearly Yours

Sienna Oakridge has always believed that some feelings are meant to stay unspoken. In the quiet spaces between classes, beneath the hum of school hallways, she keeps her heart carefully guarded. (especially around Brian Parker)

Brian isn't loud or reckless. He's the kind of boy who notices things: the way Sienna fidgets with her sleeves, the way her laughter softens the room, the way his hand always seems to fall just short of hers. What starts as shared glances and almost-moments slowly becomes something harder to ignore.

As days pass and emotions deepen, Sienna and Brian find themselves caught in the fragile space between friendship and something more. Because sometimes, the scariest part of falling in love isn't letting go, it's reaching out.

And sometimes, almost being perfect can change everything.
