Really great start to an amazing story! The only thing that seemed off to me was how fast the Jayden said "I love you" to Hardy. A moment ago Jayden says "I like you" and then Hardy tells Jayden that he loves him. Jayden then says I love you back to Hardy even though he just admitted to liking Hardy a moment ago and it seems a bit forced. They may have known each other for years but Jayden only realizes his affection for Hardy during the party which was only a day ago. It just seemed to move too fast for Jayden to say "I love you" to Hardy. Just my personal opinion though. Other than that, I love the story and the romance. The artwork is also charming. Keep up the amazing work!
