See Me Beyond the Ribbon

Chloe Bennett, a college cheer captain, sees ribbons on every wrist: their colors reveal intimate history, their knots expose lies about love. She has always trusted her lifelong friend Byron—until his ribbon darkens and knots betray his involvement with a new transfer student. Paired with Alvin Hayes, the football captain branded a campus playboy, for a promo shoot, she discovers an unexpectedly clear, pale blue ribbon. Their sharp banter slowly gives way to affection built on honesty and respect. As Byron’s lies unravel, Chloe lets go of their imagined future—and chooses a love that leaves her free to be herself.
