IT DIDN’T TAKE LONG for the best night of my life to turn into the nightmare of a lifetime.

I was supposed to be an observant person—someone who rarely missed the small details. But in my obsession with Brandon, I overlooked all the red flags. Blinded by infatuation, I only saw what I wanted to see.

Twenty-four hours together, yet I only just realized that Brandon Cooper didn’t recognize me.

I wasn’t sure exactly when I started to deduce it. There were hints sprinkled throughout. Odd remarks about my family and inquiries about information Brandon should already be privy to.

I kept overlooking it all until... Brandon fucked me.

It wasn’t his style to seduce his best friend’s younger sister or anyone younger for that matter.

Growing up, I often struggled with reading between the lines and passive-aggressive comments. I understood sarcasm just fine—ingrained into my personality thanks to Brandon—but the rest were a challenge. It made me yearn for a world with straightforward words, one where no one said things they didn’t mean.

When Milo noticed my struggles, he gave me a moral compass as a guideline.

Don’t get into physical altercations.

If you do something wrong, own up to it.

Let your conscience guide you.

Don’t do anything illegal. I didn’t, not unless it came to Brandon and my slight habit of stalking.

I knew Brandon thought of me as some naïve good girl. Partly true. I stuck to the path laid out for me and was much too trusting of people’s intentions. But contrary to his and my siblings’ beliefs, I did possess my own bit of street smarts. And I considered myself straitlaced rather than a good girl.

Clear-cut rules made my life considerably easy. I could blindly follow a set of morals without concerning myself with the profound meanings behind them.

But when Brandon asked me to tag along to Italy, it posed a moral dilemma—my guilty conscience over Milo’s reaction warred with leaving a man to mourn the death of his father by his lonesome.

Though I initially resisted the idea, Brandon’s grief tore at my soul. Milo had mentioned Brandon’s recent loss, my ears perking up to devour every detail he had to spare.

Surely, even Milo would agree that a guilty conscience paled in comparison to a man suffering from loss.

I threw caution to the wind, justifying my action as a one-time deal due to the unique circumstance.

Still, when Brandon made a move, I thwarted his advances, downright stunned by it. My doubts grew when he progressed further, and my suspicions were confirmed once Brandon moaned the name Maya during sex.

My heart cracked open.

It was the first time he had called me by the fictional character’s name, sparking a pain like I had never known before. It was humiliating, and I’d barely hung onto my dignity since.

When Brandon finally fell asleep, I stared at my reflection for hours.

The acne from my preteen years had cleared up.

My ugly braces were long gone. Along with it, so was my overbite, entirely altering my smile and facial structure.

My hair was now straight and tamed, courtesy of Raven.
