Best friends from the moment they met, they were inseparable, the kind of connection that felt like fate. Then, without warning, he walked away. No explanation. No goodbye. Just silence.For two years, Hazel rebuilds herself piece by piece. She buries the feelings, blocks his number, learns to look the other way in crowded hallways. She almost convinces herself she has moved on. Then senior year throws them together again, and Mason is suddenly everywhere, smiling like nothing happened, acting like the distance between them never existed.Now, on the edge of graduation, Hazel is caught between the girl who loved him and the girl who survived losing him. One voice tells her to let him back in. The other reminds her what it cost the first time. With college pulling them toward opposite ends of the country, this summer may be their only chance to find out if first love deserves a second one.
