Annelise Carter has always been the easy one to overlook. The responsible friend. The quiet one. The girl who follows the rules, keeps her head down, and doesn't make messes-literal or otherwise. At nineteen, she's new to San Jose, working long hours at a salon, building something for herself from scratch. It's not glamorous, but it's safe. Predictable. Controlled. Exactly how she likes it. So when her client-Quinn, effortlessly cool and impossible not to like-invites her to hang out, Annie tells herself it's just a one-time thing. Just a night out with people who feel a little louder, a little brighter than anything she's used to. She doesn't expect Will. Will is everything Annie has spent her life avoiding-confident, charming, and completely at ease in chaos. The kind of guy who fills a room without trying. The kind of guy who knows exactly what he's doing when he looks at her a second too long, smiles a little too slow. And the kind of guy who absolutely shouldn't be interested in her. But he is. From the moment they meet, something shifts. The teasing comes easy. The attention lingers. And somehow, beneath all the noise and laughter, Will softens-quietly, instinctively-like Annie is the only thing that can slow him down. That's what scares her. Because Annie knows how this goes. Girls like her don't end up with guys like Will. Not without getting hurt. Not without losing parts of themselves in the process. And no matter how gentle he is with her, no matter how different he feels when it's just the two of them- She can't ignore the voice in her head telling her it's a bad idea. He's too experienced. She's too careful. They're too different. Right? SPINOFF OF double fantasy- macklin celebrini
