Chapter 3: Felling Guilty

Lily and James had been spending more time together lately. They would go out to lunch or catch a movie, and Lily found herself looking forward to their time together. However, she couldn't shake the feeling that what they were doing was wrong.

Lily: "I don't know if we should be doing this, James. You're engaged to my best friend, and it doesn't feel right."

James: "I know it's complicated, but I enjoy spending time with you. You're one of my closest friends too."

Lily: "But what if Sarah finds out? She'll be devastated."

James: "I understand your concerns, but we're just friends. There's nothing wrong with that."

As their friendship deepened, Lily found herself drawn to James more and more. She loved spending time with him, and he made her feel special in a way no one else had before.

Lily: "I don't know what to do, James. I'm falling for you, and it feels like a betrayal to Sarah."

James: "I feel the same way, Lily. But we can't act on our feelings. It would destroy our friendships and hurt everyone involved."

Lily: "I know, but it's so hard to ignore what I feel for you."

James: "I understand, but we have to do what's right. We'll find a way to get through this together."

Lily tried to keep her feelings for James in check, but it was becoming increasingly difficult. She found herself daydreaming about him and constantly thinking about their time together.

Lily: "I can't help the way I feel, James. I know it's wrong, but I can't stop thinking about you."

James: "I feel the same way, but we have to be strong. We can't let our emotions get the better of us."

Lily: "It's just so hard. I wish things were different."

James: "I know, but we have to be patient. Maybe someday things will change, but for now, we have to focus on being there for each other as friends."

Lily's feelings for James continued to grow, and she found herself becoming jealous of his relationship with Sarah. She knew she shouldn't feel this way, but she couldn't help it.

Lily: "I don't know what's wrong with me, James. I'm so jealous of Sarah, and I hate feeling this way."

James: "It's natural to feel that way, Lily. But you have to remember that I love Sarah, and I'm committed to our relationship."

Lily: "I know, and I don't want to mess things up. But it's so hard to see you with her and not feel a twinge of envy."

James: "I understand, but we have to focus on being friends. We can't let our feelings ruin what we have."

Lily tried to put her feelings aside and focus on being a good friend to James and Sarah. However, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen between her and James, and it made her uneasy.

Lily: "I feel like something bad is going to happen, James. I don't know what it is, but I can't shake this feeling."

James: "Everything's going to be okay, Lily. We just have to take things one day at a time and be there for each other."

Lily: "But what if we can't control our feelings? What if something happens between us?"

James: "We can't think like that, Lily. We have to
