Rose is a pragmatic university student, counting down the days to graduation and freedom from her mother's harsh criticisms. But when her path crosses with Sam, her sister Lily's best friend—a decade-long crush she's kept hidden—Rose finds herself navigating a complex web of family dynamics, unspoken desires, and the painful reality of unrequited love. Can she truly move on when every turn brings her back to the man who only has eyes for her sister?Graduation day was in two weeks, and I was more than ready to start a new chapter.
I was absolutely done with juggling classes and a part-time job just because Mum refused to help with the cost of uni—despite being more than capable of doing so.
She did it for Lily. But when it came to me, suddenly she couldn't. Her reason? So I could "learn to be independent." To not depend on her.
I might've appreciated the advice if she'd treated Lily the same. But she didn't—and she never would. She'd never admit she loved Lily more than me. She'd deny it to no end.
