Some things are worth the wait…

Lily and Adam have been inseparable for as long as either of them can remember- well, since primary school. For years, being best friends was everything: easy, constant, unquestioned. Until one day, it wasn’t.

At eighteen, Lily realises she’s in love. Not a passing crush, but something deep and unshakeable—with Adam. She says nothing, unwilling to risk the one person she can’t imagine losing. But silence comes at a price. What starts as a harmless joke leads Adam straight into the arms of someone else: Eve.

Years pass, and life moves on. Then Adam finds himself back at the beginning—single, heartbroken, and turning to the one person who has always been there. Lily helps him rebuild, as she always has, putting his happiness above her own.

But this time, something feels different.
Is this finally their moment or have they already missed it?
