Ineffable limerance - an infatuation so deep and overwhelming it's beyond words, yet fragile, obsessive, and painful.
Bennett is likened to an anchor: steady, reliable, impossible to move, the exact opposite of Milo, who's charming, loud, and reckless. Together, they've been inseparable friends, complementing each other in ways that blindside others.
Then Milo begins spending all his time with Sora, a sweet, soft-spoken, and thoughtful boy with a charm so unlike Milo's exuberance. It seems he's everything Milo's ever needed, and late-night talks turn into coffee dates that were supposed to be Milo and Bennett's.
Something blooms between Milo and Sora, while Bennett is left to watch on the sidelines, his quiet loyalty simmering down to bitter jealousy.
It takes tears, trial and error, and the risk of losing not just their friendship but something more precious before they learn that love isn't as simple as hoping it's reciprocated.
