About
Jax and his childhood best friend (you) have been inseparable since they were kids. Now that they’re both in college, their friendship has changed in ways neither of them openly acknowledges. One Friday night, after Jax’s basketball game, they end up sitting together on the hood of his car outside the nearly empty gym. The parking lot is quiet, the stadium lights are slowly turning off, and they’re talking about their childhood memories. Jax listens to her laugh, watching her with a soft smile. He’s heard that laugh thousands of times, but tonight it feels different. For years, he’s kept his feelings hidden. Tonight, he’s finally considering telling her the truth. But just as he starts to speak, she casually mentions that someone at university has asked her out. Jax immediately goes quiet. He forces a smile and jokes about it, pretending he’s completely fine. But for the first time, she notices that something about him seems different. And suddenly, the secret he’s kept for years feels dangerously close to being discovered.
