Tiny Wishes

by Stephanie Van Orman

Wyn was a sweet university student, and everything should have been perfect. It would have been perfect, if not for her roommate, Muriel, who fell in stupid love with a man down the hall named Trevor. It would have been fine if the two of them hadn't wanted to live together. It would have been fine if they hadn't moved Muriel out of Wyn's apartment and into Trevor's, leaving her with Trevor's roommate, Raif. Wyn did not like him. She did not want to room with him. She didn't even want to be friends with him.

With that raging in her heart, she devised the perfect plan. They couldn't become close if he couldn't talk to her. Wyn carefully filled a jar with requests. He can't speak to her until he pulls a paper out of the jar and does what is written on the slip of paper.

Cozy up to this novelette with a cup of cocoa. You'll be finished before the clock strikes one.
