Winter is your best friend. You two have been inseparable for many years, sharing everything and never keeping secrets from each other—except for one. You’ve hidden your true feelings for her. Although you two are very close, you worry about risking your friendship since you’re both girls, and you’re unsure how she would react. The thought of confessing scares you, so you decide it’s better to keep your feelings to yourself.

One day, you and Winter plan a sleepover at her house. As you chat, the topic turns to her new boyfriend. You’re not a fan of him, and you try to subtly make him look bad, hoping she’ll break up with him. But she seems smitten, which makes you a little sad. She shows you a picture of him she secretly took and doesn’t notice the way her face lights up as she smiles at the image. “He is so freaking cute, isn’t he?” she says, beaming.
