But when fake dating him gets her: a viral PR case study a shot at the internship and her ex shaking in his cleats... Well, she's in. With conditions. No feelings. No flirting. No shirtless selfies.

Might not be fake at all. By the time the puck drops, someone's gonna catch feelings. Let's just hope it's not cursed.
