Not some love interest or fuck buddy?

But an actual family member?

I’m officially confused

Milo

The clock is nearing one in theit up on the dance floor Evan twirls his wife around, and the biggest grin I’ve ever seen has become a permanent fixture on his face

My best friend is the happiest he’s ever been

Married to the wo eye

And I’lances at his little sister

Right now, she stands beside her dad while he talks animatedly to Sadie’s father, John

Beers clutched in their hands and with rosy, alcohol-tinted cheeks, the twolike hyenas, but Maybe is just…kind of standing there, her lips locked in a firm line

I get the sense that soo ask her

She’s made it pretty damn clear she wants space from me

Andday This is the last place I should make some kind of scene and let him in on the secret that I’m in love with Maybe

That’s the last thing I want to do

Emory sits down beside me and sets two fresh slices of cake in front of us

“Seriously,” she continues and locks her eyes with lances across the rooed to keep track of the entire evening “I know so is up, and callto do with that beautiful brunette over there”

What can I say to that?

And fuck, am I that damn obvious?

“Well…” I pause on a sigh “It’s safe to say I got myself into the kind of situation I have no solution to”

“That’s bullshit, Milo There’s always a solution”

I shake my head “Not in this case”

“God, you really are a pathetic sack of sadness, huh?” she teases “Do I need to get some tissues while you cry on my shoulder?”

“You’ve always had a knack for being a sarcastic little brat, you know that?” I toss back “Even ere kids, you were nothing but trouble”
