    Summary

    “I don’t want to go back to school,” he whispered. “I don’t want summer to end.”
    I don’t want to lose you.
    “We will make it work.” The assurance of his steady tone, the cool resolve in it, was a warm balm to Shane’s anxiety. 
    “Yeah.” He looked back out over the neighborhood, swallowing the lump in his throat that felt Ilya-sized. It’d come back thicker when they were forced apart next week, a final goodbye as they began the seventh grade. Pushing the thought as far back in his mind as it would go, he forced a small smile. “But let’s stay up here for a bit longer, anyway.”

    OR: Shane and Ilya met when they were eleven, and figured it out eight years later.

    Summary

    Shane Hollander knows three things:
    Ilya is off‑limits, the kiss should’ve never happened, and ignoring it didn’t make it go away.

    Now he’s freshly graduated with one last summer before leaving for NYU - one last summer to keep his head down, avoid old feelings, and pretend he’s totally fine. But after months of radio silence, Ilya is back. And Shane is running out of excuses for why his heart still stutters every time he hears “Hollander.”

    One last summer. One unresolved kiss. One disaster waiting to happen.

    OR Ilya is Shane’s older brother’s best friend, the boy he’s always drifted toward without meaning to, and now they’re stuck navigating their complicated almost‑something relationship under the same roof.
