Nodding, she pulled herself onto the edge of the sink for a seat "Sometimes it is so good between us. We get on well and we laugh, and he is amazing. He is more than amazing."

"But?"

"But.” She started to explain "Other times I feel that am forcing everything between us."

I joined her by sitting on the sink next to her as I questioned "You think you are forcing your feelings for him?"

"It sounds stupid." She huffed "Surely this is a just a phase and I will feel different in the long run."

"Maybe but it might not be." I insisted before adding "I just want you to be happy and sure of yourself."

I felt guilty and I felt like I had betrayed Brennan. It was a confusing situation because Lana was my best friend, but Brennan also meant something to me.

My parents never had any children other than me, and I had always wanted a brother. If I could have picked anyone in the world to be my brother, then I would choose Brennan without a doubt.

"What do I do?" She sighed.

"I know best friends always know best but I really do not know." I tried to be helpful "Brennan is a great guy but if you are not happy with him then you need to be honest with yourself."

She nodded as she let her head fall on my shoulder.

"I am terrible at this kind of stuff. I am sorry." I replied lamely "I have never had an epic romance or a great love story."

Lana seemed to brighten up at my words and she cocked her head with a smile "Are you not?"

I did not miss how she used present rather than past.

The chequered floor looked like a good place to focus on instead of her.

At my action, she laughed "Like you said best friends always know best."

Still avoiding confronting what she was hinting at, I patted her back "Let's go back. He will be wondering where you are. Talk to him. If he tries to buy you a candy apple or take you on the Ferris wheel, then work with him. Maybe you will reconnect."

We walked out of the bathroom and made our way back over to the two who were already watching us.

Lana at least appeared a bit calmer than she did before. She offered Brennan a smile which he returned instantly.

On the other side of the table, I stuck my tongue out at Stone who was smirking in his seat.

Brennan started a conversation with Lana while Stone leaned closer and rested his thick muscled arms on the table.

His voice was a deep low noise "What was that all about?"

"I just had to tell Lana some stuff." I kept my answer as vague as possible.

"Like what?"

I gave him my biggest and sweetest smile "Just telling her how amazing and how smart Valentine Stone is."
