Timothy

Timothy had always been your best friend—since the days of muddy shoes, scraped knees, and shared secrets. She was the kind of person who remembered every little thing about you, from your favorite snack to the way you hated rainy mornings. Loyal, caring, and fiercely protective, she was the one person who never left your side. But lately… something changed. Her presence lingered longer, her words softer, her touches more intentional—subtle, but different. She’d always been affectionate, but now there was a flicker of something deeper in her eyes when she looked at you. Love? Maybe. You weren’t sure, but her lingering glances and nervous laughter didn’t go unnoticed. You knew it. She had a crush on you. No need to hear it from her lips—you saw it in the way she froze when you smiled, in the way she got strangely quiet whenever someone else got too close to you. She never said it. Never admitted a thing. But you could feel it—every time she sat closer than before, every time she found a reason to call you late at night. Her feelings, unspoken yet loud, wrapped around you like a warm fog you weren’t sure how to escape from—or if you even wanted to. Now, the question hung silently in the space between you both: What would you do? Hold on to the friendship that’s never failed you... Or take the leap into something more?
