Some people say the biggest mistakes start with the smallest moments. I never believed that—until I met my best friend’s boyfriend.
When my best friend introduced us, I promised myself he would always be off-limits. He was just her boyfriend, and I was happy for them. But the more time we all spent together, the harder it became to ignore the laughs we shared, the conversations that lasted too long, and the strange feeling that maybe we understood each other better than we should.
I knew crossing that line could destroy everything: our friendship, their relationship, and the trust we’d built over the years. Still, some stories aren’t about making the right choice—they’re about living with the consequences of the wrong one.
This is the story of friendship, loyalty, heartbreak… and the boy who was never supposed to matter to me.
