Live and Let Grow

Alice is in love with her best friend. Now all she needs to do is tell him. 


Best buds Milo Manganiello and Alice Hooper have been the one constant in each other's lives for over fifteen years. The charismatic and compassionate physics professor was there when Alice got married, and he was there ten years later when she got divorced. Likewise, the candid and kind computer science professor has always been there for Milo. She babysits his apartment and plethora of houseplants when he's traveling and they share breakfast together every day he's in town. Alice wasn't always in love with Milo, but the feeling has grown, and when Milo returns from his latest globe-trotting adventure, Alice decides it's time to spill the seeds. 


Does Alice have the grit to confess? And will feelings take root? Or is hers a love destined never to bloom?
