Spence by Lana Dash

AYLA
A call comes in from an old college friend offering me an incredible job opportunity, but it means moving to Anchorage. I would have to leave my family, my students, and my best friend. He has no idea that I wish our friendship was more and that one word from him would convince me to stay.

SPENCE
I’ve been in love with my best friend since the second grade. I’m finally ready to admit my feelings for her when she tells me about a job offer she’s received. I’ve already seen how resentment can destroy a relationship with the divorce of my parents. I can’t ask her to stay just for me, but it’ll kill me to see her go. I risk my life every day flying in rural Alaska, but this may just be the biggest risk of all.
