Senior year was supposed to be simple for Lily Parker and Dane Brooks—one final hockey season, one final year with their friends, and then whatever came next. Instead, somewhere between late-night drives, stolen kisses, and spending far too much time together, their longtime friendship becomes something neither of them knows how to define. Lily has never been afraid of casual relationships, but Dane is different. He wants something real, while Lily is terrified of risking their friendship—and the entire friend group—by making things official. As their secret relationship grows more complicated, graduation and uncertain futures begin looming over them. With Dane’s professional hockey dreams and Lily’s own plans pulling them in different directions, they’re forced to confront the question neither wants to ask: Can they build a future together without asking each other to give up the lives they’ve worked for?
