Something So Sweet by Brynn Paulin

Toran
I watched her for years, wishing I had the courage to tell her how I feel. I’m not a stalker or anything. Just incredibly shy. Besides, Greta has always been one of the most popular women I’ve known. She has it all—looks, brains, a great personality. She shines like the stars on a moonless night. Poetic? Maybe. But there have never been truer words. She’s my best friend. She’s my everything forever.

Greta
I wish Toran would make a move. He has no idea I’ve been waiting for him to take the next step, to show me we can be more than friends. I don’t want to ruin what’s between us, to lose my best friend, the man I learned ASL sign language for when I first met him.

Whether he makes the move or not, there’s no chance I’ll let something so sweet slip away from me. Not now. Not ever.
