Beau Maxwell and Sadie Parker have known each other since freshman year. Between Briar hockey games, parties, and their shared friend group, they’ve spent years exchanging smiles, casual conversations, and friendly hellos. They’ve always gotten along, but neither of them has ever looked at the other as anything more than a friend. Until Beau starts paying attention. After a party makes him realize there’s a lot more to Sadie than he ever noticed before, he finds himself seeking her out whenever he gets the chance. What starts as simple conversations turns into late-night phone calls, study sessions, and a friendship that suddenly feels different. For Sadie, Beau has always been a constant in her life—a familiar face she’s never thought twice about. But as they grow closer, she begins to see the side of him that few people do. The problem is, once you start seeing someone differently, it’s impossible to go back to the way things were before. And neither of them is prepared for what happens when friendship starts turning into something more.
