Dean Carlsen
Some friendships begin with a spark. Others begin with a granola bar and a dumb sweater. Juliette had lived on the same street her entire life—same house, same neighbors, same quiet afternoons. Dean was the new kid with a too-big cardigan and a strange habit of eating granola bars in the weirdest way imaginable. They met on a day she was trying very hard not to cry and he, in all his awkward honesty, ruined that plan with one sentence and a crooked smile. What started as a strange little moment between two eight-year-olds—one heartbroken over something she wouldn’t explain, the other mourning the end of Teen Titans—turned into something unshakable. From scraped knees to school dances, whispered secrets to silent support, they grew up side by side, tethered by something deeper than either of them could name. And twelve years later, they’re still inseparable.
