Avery and Malachi used to be inseparable.
Growing up next door to each other in Virginia, they spent every day together until Malachi's family moved to Los Angeles when they were only eight and seven. Avery had a tiny childhood crush on her best friend, but eventually, life moved on and the two lost touch.
Now, years later, Malachi is back.
He's still living in the same house, but the little girl next door he remembers has grown into someone completely different. Sixteen-year-old Avery is quiet, guarded and effortlessly cool, with almost no friends and a life that couldn't be further from Malachi's world of acting.
And Malachi is immediately captivated.
He's openly flirty from the moment they see each other again, but Avery doesn't believe a word of it. As far as she's concerned, LA and acting have given her childhood best friend a serious ego.
What she doesn't know is that beneath all his confidence, Malachi has never forgotten the girl next door.
And this time, he's determined not to lose her again.
