Unraveled Vows

I always thought my life was perfectly planned-a thriving career, a charming best friend, and a promise we made as a joke over cocktails. But now, here I am, standing at the crossroads between friendship and something far more complicated. When Kyle suggested our marriage pact might be more than just a drunken agreement, I laughed it off. After all, who turns a friendship into a love story without risking everything? But his words have stayed with me, nudging at the edges of my carefully structured life. Now, the lines between us blur with every lingering glance, and I'm torn between taking a leap or clinging to the safety of what we've always been. And just as I start to entertain the idea of us, life throws another curveball-one I'm not sure either of us is ready for. Can I really risk losing the one person who has been my constant, or is this the beginning of the most beautiful mess of all? If you've ever wondered what happens when the love of your life is the one person you never saw coming, you might just want to stick around.
