Every summer, Colton and Wren find each other at the county fair.
It's always been that way-long days under the sun, late nights under golden lights, and a friendship that's always felt like something more. Everyone else sees it. They just... don't talk about it.
But this year is different.
It's their last fair as exhibitors. Their last week before everything changes. Before Wren leaves for college-and Colton stays behind.
Suddenly, all the things they've never said feel harder to ignore.
Because somewhere between shared traditions, quiet moments, and almost-confessions, Wren and Colton are forced to face the truth:
What if what they've had all along was never just friendship?
Under the glow of the fair lights, with time slipping through their fingers, they'll have to decide if they're brave enough to finally say it-
before the moment passes them by.
