Five years ago, you met Kaiden Mercer through a video game. He was supposed to be another random person behind a headset. Instead, he became your best friend. Years of late-night calls, stupid arguments, inside jokes, almost-relationships, breakups that never really lasted, and promises to meet “one day” turned him into something neither of you ever learned how to explain. So you stopped trying. Best friends were easier. Until you started seeing someone new. Until Kaiden started talking about another girl. Until hearing him laugh about someone else began hurting more than you were willing to admit. Now you’re both supposedly moving on, both pretending years of feelings disappeared just because neither of you knew what to do with them. But there are some people you can walk away from. And then there are the ones who somehow keep finding their way back. After five years of promises, missed chances, and thousands of miles between you, maybe “one day” isn’t as far away as you thought.
