Project Runaway ✔️

#22 in Heartwrenching. Dumping your girlfriend is hard enough, but pretending to move to another state in order to avoid her is only something Tanner West can pull off. Without much time to plan his escape out of the relationship, Tanner begs his best friend, Lilah Jennings, to invite him to be a plus one at her uncle's wedding out of state, in turn, staying hidden for a few weeks until he comes up with his next move away from his ex. Lilah agrees to Tanner's outlandish plan under a few conditions. In Lilah's eyes, nothing could be better than seeing Tanner a free man considering he's the only man she's had eyes for since middle school, openly so. Besides, having a confidante to lean on when her uncle is engaged to a winch is a plus in her book. With Tanner having always made it clear he wants Lilah as a friend, suddenly the lines of friendship blur when another man enters the picture.
