Love is easy in the beginning. It's later-after the routines settle, after the silence lingers too long, after words start to hurt more than they should-that things begin to crack. You and Clay have been together long enough to feel the shift. The distance. The conversations that don't quite land. The argument that finally forces everything into the open and leaves you wondering whether love is enough to fix what's breaking. This isn't about falling in love. It's about holding on when it starts to hurt-and deciding whether you fight for each other, or let go.

After a joke becomes a reality, George becomes an American citizen in a way he never thought he would: by marrying his best friend. It wasn't a big deal. The plan was that they'd get married, go through the whole citizenship process, and get George his green card. After that, they'd file for a divorce and it'd be like it never happened. However, their plan and their reality don't quite line up when their feelings begin to get involved.

"In a classroom? Wow, you're getting brave." Clay laughed as he looked around the room, "Never expected this out of you." I walked up to him, stopping right in front of him, our eyes locked onto each other. The grin disappeared from his face, my eyes red with fiery. I raised my hand to slap him, he grabbed my wrist. He scoffed, "Oh come one, you really shouldn't hit people." His grin appeared back onto his face as he inched closer to me.

Conversations stretch longer, feelings show up sooner than planned, and suddenly something real is taking shape faster than either of you anticipated. This isn't a story about waiting or wondering what if. It's about connection, timing, and letting things happen when they feel right.
