We’ve been best friends since we were five.

But nothing’s as simple as it seems.

Relationships change and so do people.

Especially now.

When innuendos and hints aren't enough, it’s time to confess.

I’m in love with my best friend.

…And I think I’m too late.

Small Town Girl

Peyton put on a brave face and forced a smile as Beau helped her onto the deck. I dropped the bag and small cooler onto the floor of the boat and hopped in. Normally, I sat in the seat next to Beau while he drove-his boat, he was captain-but since Peyton situated herself up front, I joined her. When Beau started the engine, she chewed on her lip and grabbed the seat cushion and edge of the boat as soon as we started moving.


I tried to mask my humor, although I did a shitty job. "Once we get through the no-wake zone, he'll pick up speed."


"Was that meant to comfort me?" She might choke on her nervous laughter.
