Straightforward love

For my thirtieth birthday, I'm giving myself the gift I most desire: diet. Sure, it would be easier if I had a husband, but I don't get discouraged by irrelevant details. I ask Jake, my best friend - a smart, funny and absurdly handsome winner of genetic lotteries - to help me. The only problem is that I don't know if I can separate sex from everything I feel for this wonderful man. If I can't keep my heart under lock and key, I risk losing the relationship I value most of all.
