Their pact was a joke, or so Ryan thought.
Six years ago, two drunk nineteen-year-olds promised to sleep together if they were still single and miserable at twenty-five—no strings.
Josh has loved Ryan for six years through ill-fitting girlfriends, late-night couch talks, and every casual touch that burned. Now Josh turns twenty-five.
The deadline arrives, and he fears telling the truth will ruin the only thing that mattered. Ryan has always been the steady one—straight, sure of who he is. When Josh calls in the pact, Ryan can’t stop thinking about him. One night—that's all they agreed to. One night to get it out of their systems.
One night that changes everything: a Christmas Eve confession, a best friend's bed, a love hiding in plain sight.
