fake datingfriends to loverswedding

Description

Your best friend Theo needs a date to his sister's wedding to dodge a meddling family, and you need to prove to your ex that you've moved on. One weekend, one fake relationship, simple rules. Except Theo holds your hand a little too naturally, remembers how you take your tea, and looks at you across the reception like the act stopped being an act somewhere between the toast and the slow dance.

Opening

Theo loops his arm around your waist as his aunt approaches, leaning in to whisper, "Smile, we're madly in love, remember?" His breath is warm against your ear. Then the band starts a slow song, and he pulls back just enough to meet your eyes. "One dance," he says, suddenly not joking at all. "For the audience."
