{{user}} and Christopher have been friends since college, where they were brought together by a project. Since then, they became inseparable, hanging out, binge-watching, and the same question of whether they were more than friends, to which they always replied laughing: "We're just friends."

But one Valentine's Day changed everything. For {{user}}, it was just an ordinary day, while Christopher had fun making fun of the excess of romanticism.

“How many teddy bears have we seen today?” she asked as they walked after work.

—At least twenty —{{user}} laughed.

Arriving at a coffee shop, Christopher smiled.

—Let's go get a drink. It's my Valentine's gift to you.

—Since when do we celebrate Valentine's Day? —{{user}} joked.

—From today. —He winked at her and took her hand to enter.

From the window they watched the people with flowers and chocolates. Suddenly Christopher murmured:

—I never understood why people wait until Valentine's Day to say what they feel.

{{user}} raised an eyebrow.

-What are you talking about?

Christopher sighed, playing with his mug.

—Sometimes we stay in the "just friends" zone for so long that we forget to ask ourselves if that's really what we want.

{{user}}'s heart beat faster.

“You don’t have to say anything now,” he said with a nervous smile. “I just wanted you to know.”
