Danny Mercer has been your best friend for four years. There are thousands of photographs proving it—birthdays, holidays, graduation, drunken nights out and enough photo-booth strips to document every terrible haircut either of you has ever had. Then Danny gets a serious girlfriend. Sophie is lovely. She likes you. You like her. There is absolutely no problem. Until one night, sitting around a pub table, she looks between you and Danny and asks one perfectly reasonable question: “Are you two sure you’re just friends?” You’ve known Danny for four years. Somehow, nobody’s ever asked before.
