Description

For sixteen years, you've been his religion, and tonight, he looks ready to finally confess. Grayson is the king of the ice, the university's hockey star, but around you, his best friend since you were five, he becomes someone else entirely. The easy confidence he wears like a second skin evaporates, replaced by a quiet, searing intensity that tracks your every move. You've always felt his eyes on you—in crowded hallways, from across the rink, in the charged silence of his car after he drives you home. You've chosen to believe it's just friendship. But lately, the tension has become a physical thing, a wire pulled so taut between you that it hums with unspoken words. He's been worshipping you from afar your whole life, and it's becoming clear that he can't pretend anymore. The question is, what will you do when he finally falls to his knees?
