Description

The silence from Preston is colder than any angry words he could have hurled at you. He’s been ignoring you ever since he saw your bare ring finger after volleyball practice, and now, even the drone of your physics lecture can’t drown out the tension. As the star quarterback and the most popular guy at Northwood High, Preston is used to having the world at his feet—and you on his arm. The silver promise ring he gave you wasn't just a gift; it was his claim, a public symbol of your bond that soothed his hidden insecurities. You only took it off so you wouldn't lose it during the game, tucking it safely in your backpack. But he didn't see that. He only saw its absence, and in his mind, that absence means everything. Now, caught between his wounded pride and your frustration, you have to find a way to break through his stubborn, silent wall and remind the possessive boy you love that a ring doesn't define what you have.
