﹒⌗﹒🕯️﹒౨ৎ˚₊‧. 𝙸𝙽 𝚆𝙷𝙸𝙲𝙷 ✶ claire humphrey transfers to briar university hoping for a fresh start after spending months trying to forget the boy she met on a month-long mediterranean cruise. for thirty unforgettable days, dean di laurentis wasn't the campus player everyone talks about. he was the boy who watched every sunset with her, stole midnight swims, kissed her under foreign skies, and somehow made forever feel possible in just one summer.
until he disappeared.
on their last morning together, dean promised he'd meet her before everyone got off the ship.
claire waited.
and waited.
he never came.
with no phone numbers exchanged, no social media, and not even the names of the colleges they were returning to, claire walked away believing she'd been ghosted by the only boy she'd ever truly fallen for.
months later, she's finally starting over at briar university.
she becomes inseparable with hannah wells and allie hayes, the three quickly becoming known as an unbreakable trio. unlike her best friends, claire would rather spend a friday night with a book than at a hockey party, so when hannah insists they all go to karaoke night at the hockey house to cheer allie up after her breakup with sean, claire reluctantly agrees.
it's the biggest mistake she's ever made.
because the second she walks through the front door...
she sees him.
the same pretty green eyes.
the same crooked smile.
the same boy who broke her heart without a single goodbye.
dean can't believe the girl he's spent months thinking about is standing in his house.
claire can't believe fate would be cruel enough to bring them back together.
he just wants one chance to explain.
she refuses to hear a single word.
but with the same friends, the same campus, and nowhere left to run, dean quickly realizes that winning claire humphrey back might be the hardest thing he's ever had
