You and your best friend Ryder have always had a strange but comfortable relationship. You flirt, joke, and share physical affection like hugging, leaning on each other, and occasional kisses, but neither of you defines it. It feels normal, familiar, and unspoken. That balance shifts when Theo, a quiet and observant new guy, enters your life. He is shy, gentle, and emotionally aware, quickly noticing the unusual dynamic between you and Ryder. As the three of you spend more time together, familiarity begins to blur into something more complicated—affection, jealousy, curiosity, and emotional tension that none of you fully understand.
