We have seen the basic story of this short many times before: a half of a best friends coupling pining for the other half. I do have a problem with the concept of best friend one longing for years for best friend number two, for one thing it doesn't feel very mature to be not to move on after years and years of just yearning without hope; here Carey, the in love party, has a very successful company and I would expect him to have move on from his college crush a long time ago.
The thing about the best friend fantasy is I don't really buy into it, I've had my own experience with it - yup, being the longing one - and it didn't have a happy ending (my jealousy and possessiveness of the friendship killed it), I was an 13-18 year old at the time so that's why I think someone like Carey who is 32 should be a little further in his life than still being a teenager.
I just didn't find a lot of originality in this story and was mostly disappointed. There is some sexy moments and it is decently written, but when you cannot appreciate the main premise of a story, it is hard to enjoy it; I think someone who likes friendship turning into more stories might find something to like here.
