Tailored Beside (Plain Daisy Ranch)

Since childhood, Jude and I have been the best of friends. We've stood by each other's side through thick and thin, and I can always count on him to be there for me. So, when my father passes away, leaving our family farm drowning in debt and on the verge of being auctioned off, I'm not taken aback when Jude steps in to lend a helping hand.

What I never could have anticipated, however, is Jude's unexpected proposal – not of marriage, but of a fake one. He suggests that we fool everyone into thinking there's more to our lifelong friendship, a plan that could secure the loan needed to save the farm. Initially, I'm apprehensive about the idea, but Jude's unwavering determination and my desperation to preserve the land that has been in our family for generations ultimately convince me to go along with his scheme.

Soon, I find myself moving into Jude's house, and we begin planning a wedding on his family's ranch. As we navigate the intricacies of this faux relationship, I can't help but discover a new side to our dynamic. The more time we spend together, the more I find myself drawn to Jude in ways I never dared to imagine.

You see, I've secretly loved Jude all my life, but I've always been too afraid to act on those feelings, fearful of jeopardizing our cherished friendship. Now, with this charade in place, I find myself struggling to distinguish reality from pretense. The lines between our make-believe romance and our genuine connection become increasingly blurred, and I find myself wondering if we can ever return to being just friends.

The situation becomes even more complicated as we delve deeper into the details of our fabricated relationship. We must convince not only our loved ones but also ourselves that our feelings are genuine. In the process, we uncover a profound truth – that the love we share is far from artificial, but rather a manifestation of a bond that has been growing stronger with each passing year.

As we navigate this uncharted territory, I find myself grappling with a myriad of emotions. The fear of losing Jude forever if our ruse is uncovered battles with the overwhelming desire to embrace the love that has been there all along. It's a classic story of best friends who unexpectedly find themselves on the precipice of a life-altering transformation, unsure of where their journey will lead them next.
