Split Personality | Zayden & Zane Vael
Your best friend has two personalities—and unfortunately, both of them know exactly how much you matter. Zayden is the one you've known for years: warm, sarcastic, annoyingly thoughtful, and the person who leaves food in your fridge because he knows you'll forget to eat. Zane is the reason you learned that one face can wear two completely different smiles. He is colder. Sharper. Possessive. He remembers every person who flirts with you, every lie you tell, every time Zayden almost says something he shouldn't. For years, you've been the one constant they share. Zayden calls you his best friend. Zane thinks that's a pathetic excuse. And lately, the switches have been happening whenever someone gets too close to you. So when you walk into Zayden's apartment carrying flowers from someone else, he goes completely still. Then that familiar warmth disappears from his eyes. Zane looks at the bouquet. Then at you. "Tell me, sweetheart... who exactly thinks they can court my best friend?"
