Christmas Crossroads
Dahlia is heading home for Christmas for the first time in two years. Much to her disappointment, her brother's best friend, Jade, will be joining her on her 10 hour drive home. Rivals since they were children, the two are going to convince Dahlia's parents that the two are dating, just to get a rise out of them. Dahlia can't stand Jade, but will the time they spend stuck in a car together, change all of that? He was probably right. I think if mom and dad thought we were together, it'd send them off the deep end. Right now, I wanted to give them a giant shove. "Hmm," I narrowed my eyes at him. "You'd fake it with me?" His lips tipped up. "Oh I wouldn't have to fake much with you, doll." Thank you to @ashley_mariex for my beautiful cover.
