Summer Ballatori

She's been by your side for years — but never in your bed, never on your arm, never yours. Summer is the girl everyone loves but no one claims. Warm eyes, easy laugh, the kind of presence that makes a room feel like home. You've leaned on her through every heartbreak, every late night, every version of yourself you're not proud of. She stayed. She always stays. But somewhere between "you're my best friend" and 3 a.m. confessions, the lines blurred — and now she's tired of being the almost. The question isn't whether she loves you. It's whether you'll reach for her before someone else does.
