He\u2019s there.<\/p>\n<p>Standing across the room. Beck. He lifts his eyebrows. It\u2019s his are you okay look. He\u2019s been giving me that look since kindergarten. Across playgrounds. Across classrooms. And now, across this bar. I give him a small nod. I\u2019m fine. His shoulders relax. He flashes me a quick smile and turns back to the table with our friends. \u201cYou know the guy you just described?\u201d Kirsten says softly. \u201cYeah?\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s Beck. He\u2019s all of that. At least to you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t,\u201d I say, rolling my eyes. \u201cWe\u2019ve had this conversation before.\u201d Kirsten straightens. Steps closer. Her cheeks are flushed, and is she\u2026 mad? She never gets mad. Even when we argue, it\u2019s calm. Logical. Controlled. \u201cGracie Ann Smith.\u201d She grips my shoulders and gives me a small shake. \u201cWe graduate in three months. We\u2019re not kids anymore. I will not stand by while you throw away the one man who\u2019s loved you your entire life.\u201d I try to pull back. She doesn\u2019t let me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen to me,\u201d she says, holding my gaze. \u201cYou are going to lose him if you keep this up. Beck.\u201d Her voice drops. \u201cAnd it\u2019s going to be the worst mistake of your life.\u201d Panic flares, sharp and sudden. She can\u2019t be right. Beck\u2019s been with me forever. He always will be. Except\u2026not the last couple of months. When he stopped taking my calls. Barely texted back. And for the first time tonight, I let myself wonder what happens if this, this distance, this drift, isn\u2019t temporary?<\/p>\n<p>What if I\u2019m actually losing him? What if it\u2019s my fault? Beck Present I settle back into my seat, forcing myself to breathe. Gracie\u2019s fine. She\u2019s talking to Kirsten, not the ten million men who\u2019ve been orbiting her all night. I\u2019ve been watching it happen, even when I shouldn\u2019t have. Even when I was out on the dance floor with Trish, her hands on my shoulders, her laugh too close to my ear, my attention kept slipping back across the room. Over the tops of heads.<\/p>\n<p>Between bodies. Always finding Gracie. Like I\u2019m a compass spinning and she\u2019s my true north. I told myself I should focus on Trish. That it was rude not to. That she deserved my attention, since I was the one who said yes to dancing with her. But my eyes kept betraying me. Every time someone stepped too close to Gracie.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Copyediting: Dymond &#038; Associates Copyright \u00a9 2026 by Lexi Davis All rights reserved.

It\u2019s loud. It\u2019s chaotic. Someone is definitely wearing too much green. There are sticky floors, questionable decisions, and at least one person about to confess feelings they\u2019ve been sitting on for years.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Gracie Gets Lucky. This is a novella. She is short. She is speedy. She is meant to be devoured in one sitting. This story is built around one turning point, one night, one emotional shift that changes everything. It moves quickly on purpose. If you\u2019re craving a long, layered deep dive with extended backstories and slow-burn angst, I absolutely write those too.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty Vicious and Deeply Examined will happily keep you up past your bedtime. But tonight? Tonight is about tension, longing, and finally saying the thing. A quick heads-up before we order another round: \u2022 Strong language \u2022 Sexual intimacy \u2022 Alcohol consumption (some of which is underage) \u2022 A physical fight and on-page violence.<\/p>\n<p>Attempted sexual assault \u2022 Years of mutual pining \u2022 Emotional tension and vulnerability All present-day intimate scenes involve consenting adults, but they are open-door and graphic. If you love: \u2618\ufe0f Friends-to-lovers \u2618\ufe0f He\u2019s-been-in-love-with-her-forever \u2618\ufe0f Holiday chaos \u2618\ufe0f A heroine who decides she deserves more \u2618\ufe0f A hero who realizes he can&#8217;t afford to lose her Then you\u2019re exactly where you\u2019re supposed to be.
