When one drunken kiss threatens to ruin everything they’ve built together, Dana would rather run away than admit how she feels. But is she still the only one who feels this way?

Like I Love You

The morning of graduation,Dana woke earlier than usual to a bare room full of boxes.Everything she had accumulated in the past three years was packed away neatly in cardboard and labeled,ready to be loaded into her parents’car whenever they arrived on campus.For a long moment she stared at the ceiling,listening to the quiet around her;before long,the day would burst into motion and sound,but for now everything hung in suspended animation,frozen in time.This was her last day as a college student,her last morning waking in a room she shared with Bethany.Tomorrow she’d be back home,expected to begin life as an adult,ready to look for a real job and a place of her own.
