I was connected to Iris through a shared loss – Ivy – her older sister, who was also my best friend.
For a long time, we corresponded through letters. Old fashioned ink and paper on which we shared everything.
A mistaken one night stand when we were both drunk with grief didn’t ruin our friendship. We moved on. We carried on writing to each other. We stayed friends.
Four years later, and Iris is asking me for a favour. She wants a baby and needs a father, which isn’t going to be straightforward for either of us.
I say yes, pretending this will be easy. Knowing it won’t be.
Especially when that one night stand with Iris doesn’t feel like a mistake anymore – and I want more than a repeat.
I want forever.

Tropes: older sister’s best friend; friends-to-lovers; small town; planned pregnancy
