FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL A Letter from the Past
Sophia’s PovSpring turned into summer, and our lives settled into something so peaceful it almost felt unfamiliar. Grace had just turned two, chasing after Tyler with fierce determination every chance she got, and Tyler, now six, had become the proudest big brother in the entire building, teaching her simple hockey moves in our living room despite my constant reminders to be gentle.One afternoon, while sorting through old mail that had piled up on the kitchen counter, I found an envelope with no return address, my name written across the front in neat, careful handwriting I didn’t recognize.“Noah,” I called, turning it over slowly in my hands. “Did you order something? There’s no name on this.”He came over, studying it with me, both of us feeling a small flicker of old caution before quickly reminding ourselves that Victor was gone, that Holt was gone, that every danger from our past had already been resolved.“Open it,” Noah said gently. “It’s probably nothing.”Inside was a sing
FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL The Tyler Dawson Award
Noah’s PovSophia read the message twice, her eyes widening with surprise before a slow, genuine smile spread across her face. She handed me the phone, and I read it myself, feeling the same warm disbelief settle over me.“They want to name an award after him,” I said. “A real, permanent award. Every year, for every rookie in the league.”“For sportsmanship,” Sophia said softly. “For doing the right thing, even when it’s hard.”We called Coach Reynolds back the next morning, and his excitement carried clearly through the phone. “The league office reached out after hearing about the campaign. Once word got around about Tyler’s letters, about what kind of person he really was, they wanted to do something lasting. Something that keeps his memory alive every single season, not just this year.”“What exactly would it look like?” I asked.“Each year, the league would recognize one rookie who best represents honesty, courage, and fair play, both on and off the ice,” Coach Reynolds explained.
FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL What Her Mother Kept
Sophia’s PovVanessa’s message sat quietly on Noah’s phone screen that night, and though the words themselves carried none of the fear that once accompanied every unexpected message from her, a soft nervous flutter passed through me anyway. Old habits were hard to fully release, even in peaceful times.“She says it’s about Tyler,” Noah said, setting the phone down carefully. “Not Victor. Just Tyler.”“That’s different,” I said slowly, allowing myself to feel something closer to curiosity than dread. “She’s never reached out like this before.”We called her the next morning, and her voice carried a gentleness I hadn’t fully heard from her until now, softer than during our earlier, more cautious conversations.“I found a box while cleaning out my mother’s storage unit,” she explained. “It’s mostly old photographs, but there’s something else in there. Letters. I think they’re from Tyler.”My breath caught. “Letters to your mother?”“I think so,” Vanessa said. “I haven’t read all of them.
FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL Something Big
Noah’s PovI read the message twice, curiosity replacing the calm we had only just settled into. Mason called before I even had the chance to phone Coach Reynolds myself, his voice carrying the same confused excitement I felt.“Did you get his text too?” Mason asked.“Just now,” I said. “No idea what he means by something big.”“Should we call him tonight?”“It’s late,” I said, glancing toward the bedroom where Sophia had just gotten Grace back to sleep. “Let’s call him first thing tomorrow, like he said.”We agreed to meet at the arena early the next morning, and after a full night’s rest for the first time in what felt like weeks, I left the apartment with a strange mix of nerves and hope, Sophia waving from the doorway with Grace resting against her shoulder.“Whatever it is,” she said, smiling, “go find out. We’ll be here.”Coach Reynolds was already waiting when Mason and I arrived, sitting in his office with two cups of coffee already poured, his expression carrying the kind of
FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL No More Ghosts
Sophia’s PovNoah read the message out loud, and my stomach dropped the moment he finished, exhaustion mixing with a fear I thought we had finally left behind. Grace stirred slightly in my arms, and I held her a little tighter, as if that alone could shield her from whatever new shadow this email was trying to cast over our family.“Forward it to Renee,” I said quickly. “Right now. Tonight.”Noah was already typing, his hands moving fast despite how tired he looked. Within minutes, Renee called back, her voice steady even though it was well past midnight.“I saw it,” she said. “Give me until morning before either of you panics. Emails like this show up sometimes, especially after a case gets this much public attention. People want money, attention, or just enjoy causing fear. I’ll trace it first thing.”“But what if it’s real?” Sophia asked, her voice tight. “What if there’s actually something else Victor never told anyone?”Renee was quiet for a moment before answering carefully. “Vi
FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S RIVAL David’s Visit
Noah’s PovI looked at Sophia, and she looked back at me, both of us confused by the timing. It was almost midnight. David rarely called this late, let alone showed up at a hospital unannounced.“Send him up,” Sophia said to the nurse. “It’s okay. He’s family.”A few minutes later, David walked in quietly, his coat still damp from the rain outside, his face pale and tired in a way that made my stomach tighten with worry. He stopped near the door, his eyes immediately falling on baby Grace sleeping peacefully in Sophia’s arms.“She’s beautiful,” he said softly, his voice catching. “I’m sorry to come so late. I know this isn’t the right time, but I didn’t want to wait until morning.”“David, what’s wrong?” Sophia asked gently.He pulled a folded piece of paper from his coat pocket, his hands shaking slightly as he held it out. “I got a letter today. From the prison where Victor is being held. It was addressed to me directly.”My chest tightened instantly. “Victor wrote to you?”David no
