Smitten with You

Rachel

Alison Tieman is smart, sweet and so fun to be around. Oh and did I mention gorgeous?

We've been inseparable since birth.

We're always doing something together, between visiting Grandma Marie to making our favorite marshmallow brownies and even applying for the same colleges.

My heart pitter patters when she's around, screaming at me to spill my feelings for her.

But...I can't risk losing her friendship.

...Right?

When a stranger enters the vet clinic I volunteer for and introduces himself to Alison-while we're cleaning litter boxes-and asks her for an immediate coffee date, I almost lose it.

I didn't expect Alison to agree.

Now I'm kicking myself as Alison slowly becomes the one who got away...

Alison

Rachel Evans is a terrible singer (in an adorable way), compassionate and thoughtful. She's also my best friend.

I love spending time with her, whether it's at the vet clinic taking care of the animals or having movie nights in my backyard.

I may have wondered what it'd be like to actually be with her, but that was years ago. And it was a tiny thought-nothing I entertained.

Now?

Now I'm seeing someone else. He's kind, bold, super cute and older-but the more time I spend with him, the more I see his true colors.

I slowly come to a realization-one that'll change everything...
