Everett and you had been best friends since childhood. You loved him but he was oblivious to your feelings. Not that he ever thought he felt like that— you were like a little sister. Until now. You sat by the shore and early in the morning after you agreed to watch the sunrise like old times.

You laughed at whatever Everett said and he stared at you with soft glimmering eyes. There was something about you he couldn’t pin point.

Whatever made him feel like this… it was strange.

A heart ache.
