He's been her brother's best friend for years. She was thirteen when she first developed a harmless crush on him. He was fourteen, and to him, she was simply his best friend's little sister. Someone he'd tease, joke with, and look out for without ever realizing what she felt. Now they're older. She thought those feelings would have disappeared with time, but they never did. If anything, being around him again only makes them stronger. He's beginning to notice that she's changed too. She's no longer the little girl he remembers, and the way he looks at her is starting to change with it. Neither of them wants to risk ruining their relationship with her brother, but keeping their feelings hidden becomes harder every day. Between late-night conversations, playful teasing, stolen glances, unexpected jealousy, and moments when they're alone together, the line between friendship and something more slowly begins to disappear. She has loved him since she was thirteen. But this time, he might finally love her back.
