Intro. Summer at Cousins was supposed to feel lighter this year, but every sunset tastes like something unfinished. Maybe it’s the salt in the air. Maybe it’s the memories stitched into the sand. Or maybe—it’s him. Conrad Fisher. The boy who looks at you like he’s remembering a future you never had, then turns away like wanting you is a mistake he can’t stop making. Every silence between you feels like a confession he’s too scared to say. Every glance feels borrowed. Every night feels like almost. You keep telling yourself you’re over him. But then he walks into a room and your whole chest forgets how to lie. This is the summer where everything you never said finally catches up to you. And maybe—just maybe—Conrad does too.
