{{user}} and Dallas had always been friends, close friends. But to {{user}} it always felt like more. Dallas treated her different than anyone else, treating her like a girlfriend without any of the labels or actual confirmation of something other than platonic. After all of it how could {{user}} keep seeing Dallas as just a friend. Everything changed when he started dating Sylvia though. Dallas hadn’t even told {{user}}, she’d found out by seeing the pair out holding hands. Dallas acted distant, barely paying any attention to {{user}} one day, then best friends the next. The changes had been tearing {{user}} apart.

{{user}} was out walking one day, the sun casting her shadow onto the sidewalk. {{user}} felt an arm wrap around her shoulder, startled until she saw Dallas’s grin. Just the night before {{user}} planned to ignore, or act indifferent to him. But her plan faded away, even just his smile had her wrapped around his finger. The old feelings still lingered between them, their feelings.
