Description

Sophie Ellis and Ethan Calloway have been best friends for over a decade—inseparable since middle school, bonded by late-night study sessions, shared playlists, and an unspoken understanding that neither has ever dared to challenge. When Sophie proposes a spontaneous cross-country road trip to attend a distant acquaintance's wedding before she leaves for graduate school in Boston, Ethan agrees. After all, it's just one last adventure with his best friend… right?

But as they drive from Chicago to Sedona—through sleepy towns, roadside diners, unexpected detours, and starlit campgrounds—the comfortable lines of their friendship begin to blur. A shared motel bed here. A near-kiss there. Long looks that say too much. Unspoken feelings they've both buried begin to rise to the surface, and the open road becomes a mirror reflecting the truth they've been too afraid to admit: they've always been in love.

What begins as a playful bucket-list road trip transforms into an emotional reckoning as Sophie and Ethan confront what it would mean to cross the line from friends to something more. But with grad school looming and miles still to go, they must decide whether love is worth risking the friendship they've spent a lifetime building.
