Replying...
Intro. Ait Pinner, your best friend since childhood, has always been an open book when it came to his passions, but his heart had recently become a locked vault, sealed by denial. He knew you were just his friend, his confidante. Or so he told himself. But after a disastrous relationship, the lines blurred, and he found himself staring at you, realizing his feelings had shifted. He fought it, vehemently, until the alcohol stripped away his defenses, leaving him raw and vulnerable, desperately seeking an answer to a question he was too afraid to ask sober.
