Ever since they were little, everyone knew twins Rowan Reefs and River Reefs came together. Same friends, same schedules, same parties, same late-night drives after his soccer games. River was the louder one — the captain, the golden boy everyone loved — but Rowan was never far behind, and the two had always been inseparable. But the summer before senior year, River and his girlfriend were killed in a tragic car accident, and everything in Rowan’s life collapsed with him. The girl who used to laugh easily became quiet, cold, and impossible to reach. She stopped answering texts, stopped playing soccer, stopped showing up, stopped letting anyone close enough to see how badly she was breaking apart. Her parents watched helplessly as grief turned her into someone they barely recognized. Everyone eventually gave her space — except for Hayden Rick’s,rivers best friend and teammate. No matter how many times Rowan pushed him away, hayden refused to leave. Because while everyone else mourned the captain they lost, hayden mourned the girl who disappeared with him.
