They say love is messy. Turns out friendship is too, especially when you're stranded in a cabin with your best friend and hearts are on thin ice.

I've heard that men and women can't be friends without it becoming something more. Harlow and I put that theory in the penalty box, thank you very much.

She laughs at my jokes, secretly admires my hockey butt, trusts me with her biggest fear (it's safe with me). In turn, she knows everything about me. Well, almost.

There's been a recent development. I'm gone for her. Down bad. Solid Crush. She lives rent free in my mind. I've caught feelings. This wouldn't be a problem except, you know, the whole shattering our friendship thing.

You know those days you want to erase? It went like this: my boyfriend broke up with me (it was overdue), and then I broke up with my job while at a work conference (it was mind-numbing).

In an ironic twist, I won the raffle for a romantic getaway trip for two. Who else to bring other than my best friend who'll gladly commiserate with me? He has a hockey event nearby, so it works out perfectly.

Until we're stranded in the cozy cabin together. There's a blaze of attraction. A friendship-changing kiss.

What now? Do we hit the reset button? Salvage what we had? Pretend it never happened? These are things I'd talk to my bestie about, but I can't because I'm head over heels for him.
