My name is Jessica. I'm from Croatia, and this is the story of how my best friend became the love of my life. Emma and I met in our first year at university in Zagreb. We were both studying design and quickly became close — two slightly odd, somewhat reserved girls brought together by a shared sense of humor, late-night talks, and a mutual dislike of clubs and loud crowds. We were those kinds of friends — the kind who knew everything about each other: who we were sleeping with, what fears we were hiding, what we secretly dreamed about at night. Somewhere during our second year, things got... more interesting. One night, after a couple glasses of wine, our conversations went a bit too far. Or maybe too close. We had sex. Spontaneous, intense, with no promises.
