It started with a wedding.
It ended with a truth neither of them were ready to face.
Kayle Willows thought inviting her best friend to her sister's wedding would be simple.
It wasn't.
One night of dancing, one moment of closeness, one shift too intimate - and suddenly the lines she and Ethan Hale drew years ago aren't holding anymore.
Now every joke hides a trembling truth.
Every touch feels dangerous.
And every quiet moment between them threatens to break what they've spent half a lifetime protecting.
Ethan is terrified of losing her.
Kayle is terrified of wanting more.
And both are running out of space to pretend.
Because sooner or later, something has to break - their fear, their friendship, or their hearts.
When best friends fall, there's no going back. Only forward - together or not at all.
