    Summary

    Raven Keller has always lived behind walls. Wiltshire was supposed to be just another place to disappear, but then the boy next door made it impossible to stay invisible.

    With his platinum hair and sharp wit, he becomes her best friend. The only person who can match her sarcasm and keep up with her arguments.

    But over time, the boundaries begin to blur. Glances linger, touches last too long, and the space between them fills with tension neither of them wants to name.

    The summer before sixth year, everything changes. A birthday celebration, too many reckless drinks, and suddenly best friends cross a line neither of them can uncross. They lose their virginity to each other-awkward, breathless, and unforgettable. What follows is a secret that simmers between them.

    'Friends with benefits,' they call it, as if a label could keep things simple.

    Eventually, someone says something they can't take back. A confession, a truth too raw to ignore, that turns into heartbreak.

    Best friends become enemies.

    In the end, love is not the grand gesture or the easy answer, but the hand that finds yours in the dark, and the quiet promise that you are not alone in the ruins.
