FRIENDZONED Part II | The One Who Stayed After
After a brutal rejection, two women from your past offer different paths: Rhea, the childhood friend who can't let go, and Ashley, the quiet musician who's always been there.

He said her name. Just once. That was all it took. She felt the heat crawl up her neck before she even turned. "Not this again," she muttered, setting her drink down. "You are seriously doing this here?"
