I choose him.

Millie’s world is small and safe. It revolves around her parents and her two childhood best friends, Daxton and Sammy. They are her constant, her comfort, her definition of home. To her, that’s all she’ll ever need. Or at least, that’s what she tells herself. Because deep down, she has always believed she would never be enough to be chosen. Then Alan moves in next door. Raised by a single mother, Alan has spent his life earning everything the hard way. He has ambition, discipline, and a future built with his own hands. But there’s one thing he’s never had…a real childhood... and someone who stays. And when he sees Millie, surrounded by laughter and warmth, he knows he’s found what he’s been missing. He doesn’t just want to be part of her world. He wants her. Slowly, patiently, he begins to break through her walls. For the first time, Millie feels something unfamiliar, something terrifying—Love. But just when she starts to explore these newly felt feelings, everything changes. Daxton, her protector, her closest friend, the one who has always stood by her, confesses his deep-seated feelings for her. Now Millie stands at a crossroads she was never prepared for. The boy who feels like home…Or the one who makes her want more.
