Sera didn’t answer right away.

Didn’t crack a joke. Didn’t deflect. Didn’t slide into some well-rehearsed script about being fine or fabulous or unfazed.

She just stared at Lana for a beat too...

Sera couldn’t stop smiling.

Not the social kind — not the Vale-girl, chin-tilted, camera-ready one she’d been wearing since eighth grade — but the real kind. The kind that tugged at her cheek even...

The bell above the door jingled, and Sera stepped inside.

Warmth greeted her first — not just the heat from the griddle or the fryer, but something quieter. Familiar. The kind of warmth that...

Sera didn’t realize she’d stopped breathing until Lana said that.

I want to be the place you exhale.

And just like that — she did.

Her shoulders dropped. Her jaw unclenched. The pressure in...

The breeze up here always felt different.

Not just colder — clearer. Like the air knew it was closer to stars than streetlights. Like it had learned how to hold secrets without echoing them back....

Sera didn’t cry.

She thought maybe she would. Had felt it right there, on the edge of her ribs the whole time Lana was speaking—like if she so much as blinked too fast or breathed too deep, it...

The moment cracked her open.

Not loudly. Not with a sob or a scream or some cinematic collapse. But quietly — like a glass held too tight for too long, hairline fractures spidering beneath the...

The air felt thinner up here.
Or maybe that was just her.

Sera stood at the edge of the overlook, wind tugging at the sleeves of her sweater, the faint city lights of Evergreen blinking below...

Sera didn’t cry.

She thought she might, for a second—when Rowan leaned into her without hesitation, when Mason sat like maybe he still wasn’t sure he was allowed, when Lana pressed her hand over...

Sera didn’t speak when Rowan crossed the blanket.

Didn’t reach out. Didn’t fill the air with something performative. She just breathed.

Because for a second — maybe for the first time in longer...

Sera didn’t mean to hold her breath.

But that’s what Lana did to her. Not because she was intimidating or out of reach or any of the things people whispered when they looked at her. No — Lana made...

Sera hadn’t expected it to feel like this.

She thought there’d be panic. Shame. The prickling weight of judgment crawling up her neck like it always did when someone might be looking. Like someone...

Sera knew how to hold hands.

She’d done it for years—looping arms with Rowan on walk home from school, pinkies tangled during sleepovers, heads leaned close in the dark with nothing more...

Sera (https://i.ibb.co/fYRM7JFL/file-00000000d48461f8ab6199a0819dca4a.png) didn’t mean to sit like that.

All curled up and statue-still like a scared cat pretending not to be scared. But the...

Sera didn’t cry.

Didn’t rush forward with some sweeping, emotional proclamation, didn’t try to break the tension with a joke about Rowan’s eyeliner smudging or the moral implications of a gothic...

Sera didn’t respond right away.

She couldn’t.

Because her throat was suddenly doing that thing—it tightened, just enough to be inconvenient, just enough to make her wonder if Lana was rubbing...

Sera held Rowan’s gaze like it was a confession, not a compliment. Not flinching. Not filling the silence. Just there. Like gravity. Like witness.

And for once, she didn’t say anything outrageous....

Sera didn’t look away.

Didn’t crack a joke. Didn’t bat the moment away with some perfectly timed one-liner about Pinterest boards or illegal amounts of chiffon. She just held Rowan’s hand in hers...

Sera didn’t cry.

But it was a close call.
