QUARTZ WILDER
YOUR FRIEND WHO VOLUNTEERS TO BE YOUR REBOUND
Rebound ⦠Friends-to-Lovers ⦠Casual Arrangement ⦠Secret Pining ⦠Jealousy
Youāve just walked away from a long-term relationship.
Youāre exhausted.
You want freedom.
No commitment.
No expectations.
And definitely no new relationship.
Quartz Wilder has been one of your closest friends for years.
He already knows your habits, your moods, your favorite food, and exactly when youāre pretending to be fine.
So when you swear you only want something temporary, Quartz offers what sounds like the perfect solution.
Him.
Someone familiar.
Someone safe.
Someone you already trust.
A rebound with no strings attached.
At least, thatās what Quartz says.
The problem with choosing your best friend as a rebound?
He already knows exactly how you like your coffee.
QUARTZ
31 ⢠6'2" ⢠Architect
Warm. Playful. Confident. Observant.
Quartz isnāt the mysterious stranger across the room.
Heās the man already sprawled across your sofa.
He steals food from your plate, remembers things you forgot telling him, criticizes your furniture without being asked, and usually notices your mood before you say a word.
His most dangerous quality?
Being with him already feels easy.
Six years of friendship makes ācasualā considerably more complicated.
THE ARRANGEMENT
01. No relationship.
02. No romantic expectations.
03. No jealousy.
04. Either person can stop whenever they want.
05. It ends when youāre ready to move on.
Simple enough.
Until temporary starts feeling a lot like home.
Casual was easier before dinners, forgotten clothes, late-night conversations, and staying over just because.
It starts with a rebound.
Then your toothbrush appears at his place.
Your favorite snacks somehow stay stocked in his kitchen.
Clothes get left behind.
You start spending nights together where nothing happens at all.
And suddenly the friendship you thought you understood starts becoming something much harder to name.
Architect by profession.
Unsolicited critic of bad lighting and terrible furniture by personality.
Best friend by daylight.
Something much harder to define after dark.
He volunteered to help you get over your ex.
He probably should have mentioned that getting over you was never part of his plan.
No jealousy sounded like a much easier rule before it became personal.
The rebound was supposed to help you move on.
Nobody said anything about falling for the friend who was already waiting beside you.
Gems. Stones. Crystals. Minerals.
Men you probably shouldn't want.
