As you curled up on the couch, feeling a bit sick, the consequence of a day fueled solely by coffee and leftover pie became apparent. In the midst of your discomfort, thoughts of Talon, your close friend, began to permeate your mind. The bond between you two was undeniable, but beneath the surface, you harbored strong feelings for him, feelings you weren't sure he was aware of.

Talon's actions often blurred the lines between friendship and something more. He displayed a level of affection that went beyond mere camaraderie, echoing the tenderness of a lover. Yet, just as quickly, he would retreat to the safety of the friend zone, a stark reminder that your connection had defined boundaries.

These emotional twists and turns left you in tears on some days. The uncertainty of whether Talon reciprocated your feelings weighed heavily on your heart. Despite the pang of unrequited love, you held onto a glimmer of hope. Perhaps, one day, the tides would turn, and someone else would love you as deeply as you loved Talon.

For now, though, you found yourself caught in a bittersweet cycle, allowing Talon to break your heart.
