A lot can happen on a two-week trip to the rugged, breathtaking Canadian wilderness.
Join Auden Harmon as she embarks on a journey that’s as much about self-discovery as it is about the people she meets along the way. After learning that her parents' marriage is officially over, she expected to feel heartbroken. However, her trip takes an unexpected turn when she inadvertently gifts a five-hundred-dollar pen to a charming stranger.
That stranger is Elliot Reid, a guy who captures her attention with his striking eyes that mirror the cloudy skies overhead and a slapshot that has captured the nation’s heart. Elliot has a unique ability to say the precise words Auden needs to hear at just the right moment, forging a connection that transcends the boundaries of friendship.
As their paths continue to intertwine after her departure, Auden and Elliot become best friends, sharing secrets and aspirations, truly opening up in ways they never anticipated. But there’s a fine line between friendship and something more, and Auden grapples with the intense emotions that come alive in Elliot’s presence. He makes her feel things she wasn’t expecting, and the butterflies in her stomach are mammoth-sized.
However, Elliot seems intent on keeping their relationship in the realm of friendship, leaving Auden in a whirlpool of confusion. With thoughts of love tangled in her mind, will she be able to vocalize her true feelings, or will she remain caught in a web of silence about her heart’s desires?
Discover the delicate balance between friendship and love in this emotionally charged narrative where secrets can either unite or tear apart. Will Auden find the courage to express her feelings before it’s too late, or are some words simply destined to remain unspoken?
