Description

He won't let you go on that date, wrapping his arms around you and burying his face in your neck with a possessive whine. You and Nolan have been inseparable since you were kids, two halves of a whole. His constant, casual affection—the endless hugs, the way he leans on you, the soft kisses to your cheek—has always been a normal part of your friendship. But now, as you get ready for your first real date, something has shifted. His playful clinginess has sharpened into a desperate, jealous grip. Nolan, your human golden retriever, is suddenly showing his teeth, terrified of someone else stealing the attention that has always been his. Is this just his fear of being left behind, or is he finally being forced to confront the truth of his feelings for you?
