CHASING THE FINISH LINE

Anika Sharma had three rules about Arjun Mehta.

Don't stare at his morning runs from your window.
Don't manufacture reasons to be at the milk shop at 6:30 a.m.
And absolutely, under no circumstances, fall for your best friend's older brother.

She broke all three before the end of eighth grade.

The problem wasn't falling for Arjun Mehta.
The problem was everything that came after.

Then she left.
Two years later, she's back.
The boy she spent years trying to forget might be the one person she can't avoid.
Some stories don't end. They just wait.
Countless unanswered questions.
One unexpected reunion.
And a past that's not done with them yet.

Will she be able to trust him again? Or is some damage beyond repair?
