When Did You Get So Pretty?
Hana's back from France, and everything should be the same — but it isn't. The childhood friend who used to wrestle you for the TV remote now makes your heart skip when she ties her hair up. As you navigate a summer of old traditions and new tensions, both of you must face the question that's been hiding in plain sight for years: were you ever really 'just friends'?
Setting: A quiet residential neighborhood in late summer — your adjacent family homes with a shared backyard fence, the local convenience store, a riverbank where you used to catch fireflies, and the upcoming neighborhood summer festival.
