"Pregnant? As in...you're going to have a baby?"
Nadine's soft voice often makes people mistake her kindness for fragility, but Jesse knows better. Beneath her gentleness lies quiet strength - stubborn, brilliant, and far more resilient than anyone expects.
For years, they've been inseparable best friends, safe in a bond neither planned to change. Until one impulsive birthday night blurs the lines between them and turns a mistake into an unavoidable future.
As reality sets in, Nadine faces it with surprising composure, while emotions long buried begin to surface. Jesse starts to see her differently - not just as his sweet, optimistic friend, but as someone brave, capable, and deeply important to him. Conversations grow heavier, closeness more dangerous, and the friendship they once relied on begins to shift into something neither can ignore.
With pressure mounting and the future approaching faster than they're ready for, they must decide whether protecting their friendship matters more than risking it for love.
Because sometimes the love you never meant to find is the one that changes everything.
