Pretending for February: A Fake Relationship Valentine Romance

February in Cupid-on-Main-town doesn’t do subtle.

Evan has learned to nod along. As a freelance designer in a place obsessed with Valentine plans, agreeing is easier than explaining. So when a friend asks him to pretend to be her boyfriend for the month, Evan says yes. It’s harmless. Temporary. A favor that ends with February.

Until the town decides otherwise.

And until Noah.

Noah is quiet, observant, careful with his feelings. He takes things at face value, accepts that Evan is taken, and steps back. Still, they keep running into each other. At the café, steam curling off their mugs. In passing conversations that linger. Looks that say more than words. Evan feels the pull, even as he sticks to the story he started.

The longer February stretches on, the harder pretending becomes. What scares Evan isn’t getting caught. It’s what staying silent might cost him. Because the lie doesn’t just protect him it keeps him from the one person who seems to understand him without trying.

As the month winds down, Evan has to choose between comfort and honesty.

When the last heart comes down, will he finally tell the truth?
