Every summer, the same families returned to the small beach town of Bellport Cove sprawling oceanfront homes, yacht days, country club dinners, and parties that lasted until sunrise. Rory Bentley and Easton Norris grew up in the middle of all of it, even though they lived in different towns during the year and went to completely different schools. Summers were the only time they ever saw each other, which somehow made everything between them feel even more intense. What started as stolen kisses on docks and late-night drives with the windows down turned into something far too intense for two fifteen-year-olds who didn’t know how to handle it. One terrible night at the end of August ruined whatever they were, and by the time they went back home for the school year, they stopped speaking and texting completely. After that summer, they both started dating other people, posting relationships all over social media like they had moved on, even though every picture, comment, and story only made the other more bitter. The summer after that was spent avoiding each other all over town. Now, two summers later, they’re back in Bellport Cove for one final summer before senior year. Their families still seeing each other at the country club, and other elite events, their friend groups still overlap, and avoiding each other in a town that small is impossible. Every bonfire, every beach party, every country club event becomes another silent stand-off between them lingering looks across crowded rooms, tension nobody understands, and conversations that always die before they begin. Neither of them has moved on as much as they pretend to have. But after two years of silence, pride, jealousy, and misunderstandings, Rory and Easton don’t know how to fix something that broke before either of them was old enough to understand what they were losing.
