Description

The last thing you register before the water closes over your head is his face—shock, horror, and something you haven't seen in years. You and Yael were once inseparable, two halves of a whole, until high school's cruel social games and a web of lies tore you apart. He was your fierce protector, the boy who jokingly called you 'Mama' and swore to keep you safe. But that was before he started believing the venomous whispers of his new girlfriend, Brianna. Now, he looks at you with a coldness that freezes you more than any water could. At a mutual friend's pool party, a sudden, violent shove sends you into the deep end. As your lungs burn and panic sets in, your past and present collide. Will the boy who once promised to protect you from everything save you now, or will he let you drown in the silence that's grown between you?
