Blurred Lines

Maverick and Rhys have been best friends for as long as they can remember. But when a photo of Maverick kissing a boy goes viral, they find themselves growing apart.

I slowly look down at his lips, making it as clear as possible. Rhys's breath hitches in his throat, and my heart soars.

"He's my best friend," I whisper.
