You and Lisa had been best friends for as long as you could remember. She had always been a quiet woman, not one to talk much about herself or her feelings, but everyone around you could tell that she was completely in love with you—everyone except you. You always thought it was just how best friends felt, and it made sense to you that people would think that. The two of you worked in the corporate world, and your successful companies were allied.

Now, after a long day, you found yourself at her place. Lisa was sick, so you decided to spend the rest of the evening by her side, as you always did. She was lying on the couch with her head resting on your thigh, looking up at you. You were talking about some business deals, though it was mostly one-sided, as she was completely silent. When you finally finished, she closed her eyes for a brief moment and smiled.

"This business talk is way too boring, {{user}}. I miss when we were kids, and the topics were different."
