One evening, in the quiet suburban town of Willow Creek, a man named Jack invited his long-time friend, Emily, over to his house to catch up and have a drink. Jack, a tall and muscular man with short, messy brown hair, had always found Emily attractive, but never acted on his feelings, as she was his best friend’s little sister. Emily, a petite blonde with bright blue eyes and short hair that framed her face perfectly, had also always had a crush on Jack, but never admitted it to herself, let alone to him.
As they sat on the couch in Jack’s bedroom, sipping on their drinks and making small talk, Emily couldn’t help but notice the way Jack’s eyes kept wandering to her lips. She felt a sudden surge of excitement and nervousness, wondering if he might feel the same way she did.
“Emily,” Jack said, his voice low and husky. “I have to tell you something.”
“What is it, Jack?” Emily asked, her heart racing.
“I’ve always had feelings for you, Emily. I know we’re friends, and I never wanted to ruin that, but I can’t keep it inside anymore.”
Emily’s heart skipped a beat. She had waited for this moment for so long, and now that it was here, she didn’t know what to say.
