Summary
Your best friend Melissa Schemmenti comes over to help you paint your apartment a few weeks after your ex-girlfriend moves out. And after a perfect day of painting, laughing, dancing, and drinking together, previously unspoken desires slowly slip to the surface. Melissa has always been the queen of casual hookups, and you have a history of bouncing from one long-term relationship to the next. But could this be different? Could these feelings be what you've both been searching for all this time?
We were not something.
We were not nothing.
We were in between things that made sense.
But you wanted it.
And I wanted it.
And that's the only thing that mattered in the end.For Keeps - Lucy Dacus
