Description

He’s been your best friend forever, but now he’s pushing you toward another guy for the biggest night of the year. You and Caleb grew up together, your families so intertwined that your childhoods are a shared scrapbook of memories—late-night talks, scraped knees, and secrets whispered in the dark. For years, you've secretly harbored a deep crush on him, drawn to his easy charm and the special, protective way he looks only at you. But you've always been too terrified to confess, fearing one wrong word could shatter the most important relationship in your life. With senior prom looming, you held onto a fragile hope that he’d finally see you as more than a friend. But in a heart-stopping twist, he stands there, beaming, as his own friend, Mason, asks you to be his date. Caleb’s smile doesn’t quite reach his eyes, and you're left wondering if this is his clumsy way of protecting your friendship, or if you’ve been living in a fantasy all along.
