Y/N has had a crush on Adrian, a family friend seven years older than her, since she was thirteen. He’s always kept his distance, determined not to cross a line he believes would be wrong.

As Y/N grows into her own and Adrian struggles with his sense of responsibility, they must decide whether their connection is a mistake, or a love worth finally exploring.
