Ethan has been my best friend since high school—the guy who knows all my secrets, makes me laugh when I want to cry, and still shows up with coffee when I’m grading papers too late. The only problem? He has no idea I’ve been in love with him for years.
Now we’re both teachers at our old school, and he’s crushing hard on Kimberly—the former prom queen turned guidance counselor. When he tells me he’s planning to confess his feelings at this year’s prom, I do the unthinkable: I offer to help him get ready.
Somewhere between the suit shopping, the teasing, and the slow dances in the gym, I start to wonder if maybe he’s finally seeing me—the real me.
Because sometimes, the best love stories start with the person who’s been beside you all along.
