Some moments last longer than they should. For twelve years, Emily Jacob has been the girl bullied because of her weight making her quiet, careful, and utterly forgettable. She’s mastered the art of fading into the background, burying her thoughts in notebooks and counting the cracks in the ceiling to steady her pulse. But when Adam Smith, the boy who’s never given her more than a passing glance, seconds of contact unravels everything. Adam has always been the kind of boy people notice charming, effortless, the kind of person who moves through life without seeming to care. But beneath the cold and aloof persona is something no one knows: he remembers everything. Especially Emily. Especially the birthday card she gave him in first grade that he’s kept all these years. When a single glance turns into something neither of them can ignore, Emily and Adam find themselves caught between the weight of the past and the terrifying possibility of being seen. But some silences run deep, and the things left unsaid might just break them before they ever begin. A story of missed chances, quiet longing, and the seconds that change everything.
