They’ve been best friends since freshman year. Falling in love was never part of the plan.

Clover has spent years helping Blake survive biology, cheering him on from the sidelines, and being the person he can always count on. Their friendship has always been easy—full of laughter, late-night talks, and memories they’ll carry long after college.

But somewhere along the way, something changed.

The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the feelings growing between them. And when friendship starts to feel like something more, Clover and Blake have to figure out if taking a chance on love is worth risking the friendship they’ve always treasured.

Sometimes, your forever person has been standing beside you all along.
