BEATRICE

Thinking about trying a dating app? My advice- don’t.

Seriously, save yourself.

If I wasn’t on a dating app, I never would have been hiding in the bathroom of an Italian restaurant to avoid the most aggressive of Crypto Bros. And I never would have called the one person who always bails me out. August Gordon.

Once upon a time he was the adorkable guy who helped me with my biology homework. Now he is six-foot one with eyes like a dream. Now he’s the guy who kissed me on the forehead before saying something that made Crypto Bro look scared for his life.

Nope. This is not happening.

I am not falling for my best friend. Because things between us have always been easy. Uncomplicated.

But if there’s one thing I’m good at, it’s complicating things.
