She called him her "best friend."
He never corrected her.
Kaelyn and Ren grew up side by side - dancing, laughing, belonging. No one questioned it.
Until one day...
The only thing echoing in their minds was:
'Are We?'
"Relatives, by name.
Friends, by choice.
But deep down... do their hearts agree?"
