Agreeing wholeheartedly withe the other comments, these characters are spot on IMO. Yeah, friends+ indeed! And will Mitchell 'out' Nina before George gets the scent too? Looking forward to the rest of this very much :)
Your writing just fills me with awe! I just can't express how much I admire this brilliantly - perfectly! - paced story, the tension with the 'threat' to the trio (and Nina) and with the beautiful, tender, hearttingling, sweet relationship you have crafted between Mitchell and Annie. You understand these characters so well: you know just how they react to the situations they are faced with, and you know just how they express themselves to each other. Favourite lines include:
Time for pragmatism now, the evidence was getting a bit too much to deny. Besides, getting George to chill out was one thing. Annie, alone and potentially vulnerable in the house, gave rise to a very different reaction.
I love the way you show his concern for Annie here, contrasting it with his instincts towards George.
Also: "Friends version two,” she countered.
“What about George?” he said suddenly.
“Oh, well, we’re still just friends with George, that’d be weird,” Annie replied.
“No, I mean what do we tell George,” he laughed.Love this sweet

yes, you're quite right - I keep seeing little bits I want to change everytime I re-read actually, but that's what you get for posting a first draft, really :) Thanks for the positivity!

And I have to pick this out as my favorite line:
Then he felt her return the kiss, just a chaste pressure, but enough to reassure him he hadn’t just completely lost every useful instinct.
It's very sweet but also light and provides comical relief to end a tense scene- I'd pick out one of the 'just' there, but otherwise, perfect!
