"THE NAME BETWEEN US"

I liked him since tenth grade.

Every laugh. Every glance. Every stolen moment—it all led to this. Richard was the boy who made my heart race and my world spin, the boy I thought could never see me as more than a friend.

After years of keeping my feelings locked away, I finally confessed… beneath the oak tree where it all began.

But his answer shattered me. Not because he didn’t care. Not because I wasn’t enough.

Because we share the same last name.

Now I have two choices: walk away from the boy I’ve loved my entire life… or risk everything for a love that fate insists can never be mine.

Unrequited love. Family ties. Heartbreak that won’t let go.

Are some loves too impossible to fight for… or just waiting for the right moment to bloom?
