Chapter 11: The Lines We Cross

The signs were all there, Ethan’s sudden late nights, the way he barely touched me anymore, the guarded way he looked at me when he thought I wasn’t paying attention. But I convinced myself it was just my paranoia. I told myself he loved me and that we were happy.What a goddamn joke.I was sitting in that café, sipping on an overpriced latte, laughing at Miya’s dumb joke—only to have my world crack open in the worst possible way.“Lily… is that Ethan?” Miya whispered, her voice tight. “And… Rosy?”My stomach twisted so hard I thought I was going to throw up.I turned my head, dread pooling in my veins like ice water. And there they were. Across the street, sitting in that fancy restaurant, Ethan once swore he’d only take me to.He was leaning close, smiling in a way I hadn’t seen in months.
