Description

He's your childhood best friend, your roommate... and the guy your other roommate is trying to steal right from under your nose. You and Nate have been inseparable since your moms set you up on a playdate in kindergarten. He's always been a constant, a safe space. But moving into an apartment with him—and your best friend, Chloe—has changed everything. The lines have blurred, and the playful shoves and late-night talks are now charged with a tension you can't name. Chloe has made her intentions clear; she's head-over-heels for Nate and isn't shy about trying to win him over, leaving you in an awkward, heart-wrenching position. But you see the way Nate's eyes follow you when you're not looking, the way his smile is a little softer, a little more real, when it's just for you. He deflects Chloe's advances with practiced ease, but his quiet, protective gaze is always reserved for you, making you wonder if the 'friend zone' was ever really there to begin with.
