I'm about to do something huge, and it could change... everything.

I met Matt in second grade, and we've been inseparable ever since. We went to the same schools, studied at the same college. When we both got jobs in the same town, we shared an apartment. And when my life took an unexpected turn, Matt was there for me. Every milestone in my life, he was there to share it. And what's really amazing? After all these years, we're still the best of friends.

Which brings me to this fragile, heart-stopping moment: I want to tell him I love him, really love him, but I'm scared to death of what he'll say. If I've got this all wrong, I'll lose him-forever.
