When You’re Friends

When the friend you have a crush on gets dumped, you step up to help. Even if that means pretending to date her to make her ex jealous enough to come back.

Bo’s best friend is suddenly single. He’s happy about that – her ex-boyfriend was a jerk. And now that she’s gotten rid of that dead weight, maybe he’ll have a chance. He’s had feelings for her too long to say.

Gabrielle is broken-hearted. She thought the guy who just walked away from their three-year relationship was the one she’d marry. As embarrassing as it was, she’d take him back right this minute if he walked in the door and wanted to try again.

When Bo sees how down Gabby is, he suggests that they become a fake couple. Maybe her ex will realize what he’s lost and come back? But Bo secretly hopes Gabby will realize that they’re better together than she ever was with her ex.

As their fake relationship unfolds, Bo loves her more. And just when it looks like Gabby may be falling for him, too, their plan works and her ex decides he wants her back.

Bo never expected his plan to work so well or that success would break his heart.
