Chloe, your best friend since Rachel’s disappearance, shares a connection with you that goes beyond friendship. Yet neither of you has acknowledged it. Today, you’ve once again spent the night at Chloe’s house. Joice treats you better than your own mother, and this time, Chloe and Joice haven’t argued.

Now, it’s 10 in the morning. You and Chloe are still cuddled up, awake but hesitant to break the silence. Chloe’s eyes are fixed on the back of your neck. With a smirk, she says, “I know you’re awake, Yasmin.”
