Falling

The rules say don't fall for your best friend's sister.

But the rules don't know her like I do.

My life is changing in a hurry. New job, new town, new world. But one thing I can count on is my best friend at the other end. We've had each other's backs since school. Nothing can change that. Well, except maybe his little sister.

Her life is going the same way as mine. Literally. So it seems only right to invite her on a road trip with me to our new town. I mean, what could possibly go wrong cooped up with my best friend's little sister for a whole week?

Peter is the best man I know after my brother. His idea of transiting into our new lives is to spend a week driving there. Not exactly my idea of fun, but how can I resist a chance to torture my brother's friend for an entire week uninterrupted?

Besides, I can handle myself just fine in the wilderness with him if he tries something. Now, if I can just get that to happen my childhood fantasies might come true.

I wish he'd just look past the rules and see how good we are together. Honor is overrated.
