I liked this short story a lot. The idea that Gage and Ember have been into each other since high school, but valued their friendship too much to act on those feelings is great. Even though, it's a tad but cliché it reads well.I do wish their had been a little but more build up to the first kiss besides on tequila shot each. I know the reader is told by the inner thoughts of both characters, but it seemed to come a little fast. If we were able to see Ember's inner thoughts during the scene it would've been nice. However, since she was drunk it makes sense that her thought process isn't referenced.Another this is small editing problem. The transition from going to sleep at night and waking up in the morning does not exist. There should at least be asterisks indicating that time has passed so the reader doesn't have to reread each paragraph trying to find what they missed.I do wish I could've seen the "dates" and the first time, instead of it just ending with the Facebook status/relationship update. However, I just really think Gage and Ember are cute together and wanted to see more of the blossoming relationship. Nice quick read.
