I never meant to fall for Rest.
It just… happened.
One day, he was my annoying, know-it-all seatmate.
The next, he was the only person I wanted to see.
The only person who made my heart race.
The only person who made me feel like me.
And for a while, that was enough.
Being by his side, laughing, arguing, stealing his snacks—it was enough.
Until it wasn't.
Until I realized that no matter how close we were, we were never that close.
He saw me as his best friend.
But nothing more.
I convinced myself that was okay.
That I could live with just that.
But then, I wrote the letter.
And everything changed.
