Lilly
I hadn't intended to blurt out that we were dating… because we weren't. We barely knew each other. But I was out of options; my ex-boyfriend just wouldn't stop pestering me. Greyson happened to be there, and in a moment of desperation, I claimed we were together. Initially, I felt guilty for dragging him into this mess. But now? I'm relieved I did. Greyson turned out to be everything I needed, and this unexpected twist brought us closer in ways I never imagined.
Greyson
I was focused on my future goals, with dating being the last thing on my mind. But then she blurted out that we were dating. What the hell? Initially, the idea of fake dating intrigued me; I had my own reasons as to why… But now? I've crossed the line between pretending and genuine emotions. What started as a ruse has evolved into something real, and I'm not sure how to navigate these new feelings.
