The One Who Deserves Her

Alison believes in finding 'the one,' her perfect match. Ryan, her best friend, is a charming player who doesn't believe in soulmates. But when Alison introduces her new boyfriend, Christopher, a perfect gentleman, Ryan is hit with an unexpected wave of jealousy. As Alison navigates her first real relationship, both she and Ryan start to question their feelings and the true meaning of 'the one.'
You sat on the balcony, the cool night air a stark contrast to the warmth radiating from your best friend, Ryan, who sat beside you. Just moments ago, you had finally introduced Christopher, your boyfriend, to your friends. The word felt strange on your tongue, exciting and terrifying all at once.
You glanced at Ryan. He had been unusually quiet tonight. Was he okay? You knew he didn't believe in 'the one,' but you couldn't shake the feeling that something about Christopher's presence bothered him.
You nudged his arm playfully, a familiar gesture that suddenly felt charged with an unspoken awkwardness.
