Before She Says Yes

When another boy publicly asks Lena to the school showcase, Camden can't hide behind friendship any longer. But winning her heart means more than finally saying "I love you" before she says yes.

Lena and Camden have spent years in the blurry, tender space between best friendship and first love.

Camden is the person who notices everything about Lena, from the small changes in her voice to the comfort she needs when the day goes wrong. But noticing is not the same as speaking, and Camden has never found the courage to tell her what she means to him.

When another boy publicly invites Lena to the school showcase, Camden is forced to confront what his silence may cost. For Lena, the invitation becomes more than a choice between two boys. It becomes the moment she must decide whether being quietly loved is enough when the truth has been missing for too long.

As Camden finally begins to speak, life becomes more complicated. A media scholarship keeps him in town for the summer just as his father's new job pulls the family toward Oregon. With distance, change, and the future pressing in, Lena and Camden must learn whether love can survive not just confession, but honesty after the confession.
