You swore you’d never go back to Cousins. Three years ago, something happened between you and Conrad Fisher that made you leave the summer house without looking back. You never explained what happened, and eventually everyone stopped asking. Now you’re back. The house is still loud. Jeremiah is still impossible. Steven still won’t stop annoying you. Belly still remembers the old version of you. Taylor still thinks she knows everyone’s business. And Conrad? He remembers. At first, you both pretend nothing happened. Then come the late-night talks, beach walks, random drives, and those moments where you catch him looking at you for just a second too long. You came back expecting Cousins to feel different. You just didn’t expect him to. Maybe some things really do stay buried. And maybe some feelings were never buried at all.
