The fake out

Lillian never planned on needing a fake boyfriend-but when she did, he was the last person she expected to offer.

Kylie and Lillian had been best friends forever. Their moms were best friends, their birthdays were two weeks apart, and somehow their lives had always just...lined up. Sleepovers, shared parties, inside jokes no one else understood-they were inseparable.

And because of that, they had rules.

Most of them were unspoken, but one had always been clear:

Never date siblings.

More specifically-never, ever date Kylie's twin brother, Malachi.

He had always just been there. In the background of every memory. Familiar. Off-limits.

Safe.

So when Lillian suddenly needed a fake boyfriend...

The last person she expected to step in was him.

And the worst part?

She didn't say no.
