Malachi and Evelyn like to say they've known each other forever-even if "forever" technically started at a fifth birthday party. Their moms had been inseparable in high school before life pulled them in different directions, and when Felicia and Marisol finally reconnected, so did their kids. From that day on, Malachi and Evelyn were a package deal. Sleepovers at the Bartons', inside jokes no one else understood, growing up side by side while Marisol's business trips made Evelyn's presence feel permanent rather than temporary.
As the years passed, so did everything else-shared interests, shared dreams, and eventually shared chaos as they both found themselves swallowed by the entertainment industry. Busy schedules, flashing lights, and constant motion never managed to loosen the bond between them. If anything, it only made the moments they stole together feel more important.
Lately, though, something's changed. There's a pull now-subtle, magnetic, impossible to ignore. A lingering glance. A beat too long of silence. A feeling that refuses to stay buried under the label of best friends.
But that's all they are.
That's all they've ever been.
...Right?
