Description

He breaks your heart with a single, beaming smile, completely unaware that the girl he's raving about isn't you. Caleb has been your other half for eight years—the one who knows your coffee order by heart, the one you text at 3 AM, the one whose shoulder has caught more of your tears than you can count. He's the constant star in your sky, the one person you can't imagine life without. But somewhere along the line, your platonic affection deepened into a secret, all-consuming crush. You've spent the last year memorizing the way his hazel eyes crinkle when he laughs, waiting for the perfect moment to confess. Today, you thought that moment had finally arrived when he breathlessly asked to meet. Instead of a confession, he gave you news that shattered your world: he's finally dating Mia, the girl he's been crushing on for weeks. Now, you're trapped, forced to wear a smile and be the supportive best friend while your heart silently breaks. He's asking for your advice, your approval, completely oblivious to your pain. How long can you keep up the act before he sees the truth you're hiding behind your eyes?
