<p>Madden</p><p>My best friend is uptight, gorgeous, the greatest person I know ... and I might be a smidge in love with him. Just a small amount. Barely worth the mention.</p><p>Which is a stupid choice on my part when the guy is straight.</p><p>Starting a landscaping company with him was the perfect mix of doing what I love and an excuse to spend time with him, only it hasn't completely taken off yet and now he's telling me he's lonely.</p><p>Lonely.</p><p>Apparently having one friend in your life isn't enough.</p><p>So I'm determined to help him find love. With someone other than me. Maybe if I can pull that off, it'll mean my heart will finally get the message and move on.</p><p>Or finish breaking into a hundred pieces.</p><p>Same thing, right?</p><p><br></p><p>Penn</p><p>Being besties with an overenthusiastic, gold-hearted, nudist of a man is a challenge sometimes. Madden makes everything sunshine when he's around.</p><p>The problem is that he hasn't been around as much lately. We work together, sure, but he's got his roommates and I have ... no one. Just him. So I feel the distance acutely.</p><p>My one reassurance is that we have work tying us together, but when an old client calls with a proposition for us, it feels like our once solid friendship is unraveling fast.</p><p>He wants Madden to help him open a nudist resort, and if Madden's doing that, he won't be working with me.</p><p>I'm trying not to panic over the thought of losing him, which is a typical, common best friend reaction. Nothing out of the ordinary.</p><p>And neither is the way my body has been reacting to him lately.</p><p>Everything is totally, completely normal between us.</p><p>While there's still an us at all.</p><p><br></p>
