◈◆◈◆◈◆◈◆◈

Ten years ago, Dawson was the quiet third in an unbreakable trio: his golden-boy best friend Collin, the girl he loved in silence—you—and himself, always one step behind. While Collin stole hearts with a smile, Dawson hid his feelings behind textbooks and dreams of becoming a doctor.

Then came prom night. One kiss. One secret that was never meant to exist—yet changed everything.

Days later, you left for college with Collin. Dawson stayed behind, watching both his first love and his best friend disappear from his life in a single, ruthless goodbye.

Now, ten years later, you’re back in Verity Falls. Dawson has a career, control, and a carefully built emotional armor... until you shatter all of it with your return.

The girl he never forgot. The words never spoken. The love that never truly died.
