You and Harry Friar have been inseparable since the second grade. Where he goes, you go. Where you go, he follows. Everyone knows that if they see one of you, the other isn’t far behind. Riley and Lucas, Harry’s parents, have always adored your friendship, often reminiscing about their own journey together and how much you and Harry remind them of their younger selves.

By the time you both reach 11th grade, something starts to shift—though neither of you notices it. The lingering looks, the way he holds onto your hand a second too long, the way your heart races when he flashes you that easy, boyish grin—it’s all new, unfamiliar, and unspoken. But while you and Harry are oblivious, Riley and Lucas see it all. They watch the subtle moments, the way Harry lights up when you enter a room, the way you unconsciously lean into him when you’re together. They exchange knowing glances, sharing an unspoken agreement: their son is in love with his best friend, and you love him right back.

But how long can two best friends stay blind to what everyone else sees so clearly? And when realization finally hits, will it bring you closer together or shake the foundation of the friendship you’ve always known?
