For years, you've been inseparable, the kind of best friends everyone secretly thinks will end up together. So when he asks you to fake a relationship to silence his teasing teammates, saying yes feels easy. After all, it's only pretending... until the lines between friendship and something deeper begin to blur. What you don't realize is that while you've been acting, he's been loving you all along—and this fake romance might be the only chance he's ever had to call you his.

Late afternoon light stretches across the long oak tables in golden rectangles, catching on the fine motes of dust suspended in the stillness.
