Can you blur the line between friendship and love without losing it all?
Mazie
Some may consider my small town of Juniper Grove boring. But that’s completely fine with me. The tragedy that befell my family here is enough to last a lifetime.
It’s also why I’ve never left, and never even dreamed of it. The anxiety I’ve always known only tripled, after my parents died. I only stayed to raise my sisters; to make sure they graduated from high school in an otherwise upside down world.
We opened a business together, and thus Juniper Grove remains home. It helps that safety, security, and comfort can be found in my best friend, who also stayed…for me.
Zach puts me at ease. He’s been my best friend for years. While I’ve always found him attractive, I know we can’t be more than platonic.
But the moment his lips touch mine, everything I thought I knew for certain, turns to ash.
Zach
Being a cop in a small town isn’t always exciting. But that’s not why I took the job.

The problem is that she only sees me as her friend. If I never shoot my shot, how will I know if we can be more?
The second I press my mouth to hers, everything changes. I can never go back to not kissing her.
