Three Weeks After Boston Offer
I said no to Boston.
Finding my way to Westwood felt right, so I let Dr. Hayes know. Seattle came up too - part of the plan now.
Only Ella knew the reason behind it. Nobody else got it.
Staying wasn't about loyalty - it came down to not knowing how to pick. One moment tilted toward Daniel, the next pulled by Jayce. Decisions like that don't settle fast. The choice never landed right. So here I remained.
Last thing you'd expect - I messed up bad.
I chose both.

THE ARRANGEMENT
It started accidentally.
Coffee every Wednesday afternoon kept us meeting. Daniel showed up right on time, two o'clock sharp. Our talks wandered through studies and theories. We pushed each other's thinking, back and forth. Touch never entered the picture.
Last thing I expected? Him walking me to my car. That happened three weeks back. Then came the kiss.
