Just friends.

The two of you were just friends.

But oh, good god, did that man know how to make your heart flutter.

He dated some people, you dated others. When they broke up, you would be there to hold him and give him some ice cream and watch cheesy movies.

The two of you were closer than most. But you couldn’t risk a friendship, could you?

And so you sit here, awkwardly listening to your elderly grandmother try and explain why the two of you are perfect for each other.
