“We are just friends.” Jessica gave me a look. “Friends don’t look at each other the way he looks at you. Or the way you say his name.” “I do not say his name weird.” “You say it like a sigh. Luciano. Like he’s both your problem and your solution.” I laughed, embarrassed, then set the glass down and curled my knees under me. “He’s been my best friend since we were kids. He knows all the versions of me—the awkward one with braces, the broke college student, the girl who used to cry over fashion week rejection emails and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t see me that way either.”

Sophia appreciated his friendly demeanor and found herself looking forward to their conversations. As they grew closer, Sophia began to open up to Julian about her interests and passions. She discovered they shared a love for art, music, and literature. Their conversations flowed easily, and Sophia felt a sense of home with Julian. Despite the initial awkwardness about their shared past, Sophia found herself valuing Julian's friendship. He seemed genuinely interested in getting to know her, and she appreciated his kindness and support. As the days turned into weeks, Sophia and Julian's friendship blossomed. They'd grab lunch together, explore the city, and discuss their dreams and aspiration

"What?" I wiped a tear from my eye. "Well..." I smiled warmly at him. "That works too." The children giggled. "But," I continued, "it's much better to start as friends." The boy tilted his head. "Why?" "Because friendship lets you discover who a person really is." I reached for Jason's hand, intertwining our fingers. "When Jason and I first met, we weren't thinking about marriage." I smiled at my husband. "We became partners because we first learned we could trust each other."

"I love you, mom." I could hear dad yelling in the background. "I love you, too, dad. Talk to you later." Clicking my phone off, I wandered back to my room upstairs to read a couple of chapters in my latest novel. It didn't seem very long after I got swept up in The Hobbit before my phone was ringing once again. It seems I'm just getting increasingly popular these days. "Hello?" I called out as I put my phone on speaker. A hushed voice whispers over the phone, "Ciprian?"

She was writing a novel, she had told me on our last call, which surprised me and also did not surprise me at all. The letters were mostly about ordinary things. What she was cooking. What she was reading. The boat Daniel was restoring. Occasionally they contained something real and open that she would not have said five years ago, before Portugal, before the choice she had made that had rearranged everything including, eventually, us. We were not what we had been. That friendship, the one that had been built in our twenties with its specific gravity and its particular patterns, that was finished. What we had now was smaller and more honest and I preferred it.

His response came in instantly, but I didn’t spare it a second glance as I threw the phone to the side and focused on my original. I could tell the truth right now…..I could say I’d never picked up her type of books even once in my life. But if I did, what are the chances that I’d lose a potential…friend? My heart still clammed against my ribcage, as sweat peaked across my brow. For some reason, the thought of lying to her left a bitter taste at the back of my tongue. However, the terror of losing a possible friend hurt more. Felix: Yes, I love novels as well. However, I focus more on art, even though that’s regarded as a weird hobby by many.

“I’m not ready to talk about it yet.” Anne nodded immediately. “That’s okay,” she replied softly. “Whenever you’re ready.” Joy gave her a grateful look, and the conversation shifted again to lighter topics. By the time they finished their coffee and began walking back to the apartment, the distance between them had disappeared completely. What had started as a simple roommate arrangement had quietly turned into a deeper friendship. When they got home, Anne went straight into the kitchen. “Sit down,” she said with a small smile. “I’ll make breakfast.”

As fate would have it, Tyler, a fellow book enthusiast, struck up a conversation about a novel they both held in their hands. Their exchange of words soon transcended the confines of casual banter, evolving into a connection that felt destined. Sophie found herself drawn to Tyler's intellect, his passion for literature mirroring her own. The bookstore became their sanctuary, a haven where shared laughter and thoughtful discussions wove the fabric of their growing bond.

He asked "I am afraid of relationships" i said this for 100th time. "You don't have to be." He tried to calm me down. "Do you like me?" He asked. I nodded. "You want more than friends?" He asked. I don't know. I Fucking don't know. Yet i nodded. "Have you heard of friends with benefits?" He stated. I shot my head towards him. The golden words of dhruv ringing in my ears. He will sugguest friends with benefits.
