Malani Dawson and Nolan Hudson have been best friends since they were in diapers. They've grown up side by side, shared everything, and know each other better than anyone else-or so they think.
Malani is patient. She believes things happen for a reason. She also hides a truth that could shatter the bond with her best friend. Malani has never been one to face her feelings head-on-especially not the ones that make her pulse race when he's near. But when the hospital lights dim and the scrubs come off, the line between friendship and something deeper begins to blur.
After losing his brother at a young age, Nolan built his world around structure, routine, and the people he trusts most. He clings to order, logic, and saying what you mean. Nolan must confront unspoken truths he has always avoided-starting with the one person he thought he understood completely.
What will happen if their friendship is tested? As Malani and Nolan navigate the fragile space between past pain and present longing, they'll have to decide if risking their friendship is the ultimate move.
