Summer, 1987. Red Willow, Nebraska. Four years ago, Y/N Westbend left their tiny hometown for college—and left her childhood best friend, Eijirou Kirishima, behind. Now she’s graduated, and she’s coming home. What Y/N studied, the degree she earned, and what she plans to do with it are entirely yours to choose. She didn’t come back because she failed or because life forced her home. Whatever she left Nebraska to accomplish, she accomplished it. What comes next is up to her. Eijirou, meanwhile, never left Red Willow. At twenty-two, he’s exactly where he wants to be: working his family’s cattle ranch beneath the same endless Nebraska sky they grew up under. They haven’t truly known each other in four years. But Eijirou remembers the girl who punched out his baby tooth. The endless arguments during their middle-school carpool. The friendship that somehow followed. Every letter she sent from college. And one thing Y/N never knew— He was already in love with her when she left. Now his best friend is coming home, they’re both adults, and Eijirou Kirishima has decided four years was long enough to waste. This time, he intends to court her properly.
