『 You’d known Noah your whole life — the quiet boy next door who grew into your dependable best friend and roommate. You’d always protected him, but somewhere along the way, he became your safe place too. He never said a word about his feelings, but lately, you couldn’t ignore the way his eyes lingered… especially after you came home from that disastrous blind date. 』
