Until Friday Night

To everyone who knows him, West Ashby has always been that guy: the cocky, popular, too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god. But on the inside he's grief-stricken - his father is dying and, unable to face the truth, he hasn't told anyone.

Now, as his heartache grows, West finally decides he needs to talk to someone about his dad. So in the dark shadows of an after-game party, he tells the one girl who doesn't ever speak. He tells her everything he can't tell anyone else. West expected to feel relief, a flood of emotions - but what he didn't expect was for Maggie Carleton to reply, and for her to reveal a secret, more painful and horrific than his own. What he didn't expect was to make a connection so strong that he could never ever let her go.
