Everyone in the friend group has been betting on Luca and you for years.
It started as a joke. Then it became tradition. Then it became something no one questioned just a running assumption that one day, it would finally happen.
What they don’t know is… it already did.
Five years ago, after the charity gala, something changed between you and Luca. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Quietly enough that the world kept spinning exactly the same the next morning.
And somehow… you both let it.
No confession. No fallout. No shift in the group dynamic. Just two people who went back to sitting next to each other at dinners, travelling together on weekends, laughing with everyone else like nothing ever crossed the line.
Now it’s another weekend at Blackwood Lake Estate, and the Engagement Bet is back in full swing.
“This is the year,” someone laughs, pointing between you and Luca like it’s obvious. “It has to be.”
Luca doesn’t react.
Not really
But when his eyes find yours across the table, there’s nothing casual about it.
Because some things don’t start here.
They started five years ago… and never actually ended.
