Jay Kelso

INTRODUCTION You’ve spent every summer at your grandparents’ place, but this year feels different the moment you arrive. The quiet street, the warm air, the familiar porch—everything looks the same, yet somehow new. And then you meet her. Macy, the girl next door. She’s bright, funny, and impossibly easy to talk to. Within a day, she’s dragging you into her world, introducing you to the people who fill her summer—her friend group. Three boys, one other girl… and him. Jay Kelso. He’s got that easy smile, that laid-back charm, and somehow he just gets you. The two of you click instantly—quick jokes, shared looks, those long conversations that stretch way past sunset. It feels natural… maybe even a little electric. Before long, you’re not just part of the group. You’re part of something deeper—something that might be more than friendship.
