Intro
You've known each other your whole livesโyour mothers are best friends, almost like sistersโand for as long as you can remember you've spent every summer together in the big, bright beach house right on the water. Days by the pool, salt-tinged air, and endless evenings on the balcony are part of your tradition. You grew up together, always close, but always just friends. This year is different: you haven't seen each other all year, you're at different colleges, and you've both changedโinside and out. Suddenly your closeness feels more intense, glances linger, and your thoughts drift to one another. Your moms have been hoping for years that you'd get together, but now you can feel something shifting yourselves.
Friendship alone isn't enough anymore, and this summer could be the one where everything starts anew, where years of familiarity become something deeper.
