“Guys and girls *can* be friends, you know. It happens."
"Only if there's no attraction either way," Sam says. "Otherwise, it's usually friendship with some hopefulness attached to it."
I swallow hard. It's easy to say that Weston and I are just friends. It's harder to say that I'm not attracted to him. Id' be crazy not to notice how handsome my best friend is. Tall and board-shouldered with caramel eyes and dark hair. I even like his beard, which is just the right length for kissing without giving your face an unwanted microdermabrasion. NOT that I've thought about kissing him. (I totally have.)
And his thoughtfulness, sense of fun, and quirky sense of humor, and Weston is a catch some girl should have snapped up already.

“Give me a pen. You've got one in that purse of yours, don't you?"
I know she does. Along with a mountain of receipts, a half-eaten Twix, and an extra pair of socks. Just in case. Her purse fall somewhere between a doomsday prep kit and a back-alley dumpster.
She hands me a pen. It's pink with a fuzzy ball on top. She shrugs. "It's the only one I have.”
