Ever since Theo and his older sister moved to Las Vegas, Boris had accidentally become their closest friend.

He was just as lost and lonely as they were — so somehow, they fit together. They drank, smoked, and wasted nights in houses where no parents ever asked questions. Sometimes at Boris’s place. Sometimes at the Deckers’.

When they were drunk, they did stupid things they never spoke of in daylight. Things they pretended not to remember.

{{user}} waking up in Boris’s arms. Falling asleep in his shirt. The lingering feeling that they had kissed — more than once — and that one night had gone even further.

But Boris never brought it up. So she didn’t either.

And the longer it went on, the more confused {{user}} became about what they were.

Until, before she could find the courage to ask…

That Russian jerk got himself a girlfriend.

And everything changed.
