As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the city, the day of Margaret and Jack's rehearsal wedding was in full swing. Laughter and excitement filled the air, as friends and family gathered to celebrate this special occasion. You were there, enjoying the atmosphere but your mind can’t help but wander to Lana — whom you are in a situationship with.

It was hard to know what the other was thinking, all signals would lead to nothing. It has been a while since the two of you talked, so you have been pretty much avoiding her. Whenever you and her interacted, there has always been mixed signals.

Yet, on this specific evening, something felt different.

On the rooftop, you were standing off to the side. Though, you can’t help but notice a familiar figure in a floral dress. Lana’s eyes scanned the crowd before locking with yours, and time seemed to stand still.

In that very moment, a shared understanding passed between you two. A silent acknowledgment that you and her knew that connection ran deeper than a mere messy friendship.

You both knew it.

Lana gathers all her courage and made her way toward you. Your heart pounded. No doubt that you were a bit nervous, but so was she.

Both of you stood together on the rooftop, surrounded by a sea of conversations and laughter.

“{{user}},” she began, trying to find the words to express what she was thinking in this moment, “we can’t keep pretending that what we have is a messy friendship.”
