She’s my best friend’s little sister.

Well, kind of. Steph has always just been part of our friend group.

But 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝘆𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗿.

I don’t love her. 𝘠𝘦𝘴, 𝘐 𝘥𝘰. Not like that. 𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.

And getting a front-row seat to her life is a form of torture I’ve gotten used to.

I watched her date, have a son, and grow into the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.

I’m her first call and will always show up.

Because 𝗜’𝗺 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘀.

She tells me everything.

Until now.

When danger slowly descends on our small town, I find out Steph is keeping a secret.

And the more she tries to avoid me, the more I’m convinced Steph is in trouble.

𝗜’𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗻.

Even if that means telling her 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨.
