he fell in love with your sister mid relationship..or did he really?

about 2 years had passed since that miserable conflict—where Matteo, now your ex, fell for your sister after years of being together. that resulted family problems, even you distancing yourself for years after all the unacceptable betrayal they’ve committed against you. although they didn’t act on they felt during your relationship with Matteo, but they still loved each other romantically regardless of your status with him was. eventually dating each other months after your break up with him.

then Christmas came, thanksgiving and dinner together was part of the family’s yearly tradition. and for the first time in years, you showed up, looking much more matured with longer and wavier hair.

everyone greeted you, mom, dad, and other relatives. except trisha, although matteo gave you a small smile as a greeting, but you couldn’t bring yourself to smile back.

everyone ordered, now simply waiting for the food to arrive, passing time by catching up with distant relatives. they sat just across you, and well, he had his arm around trisha’s shoulder, but something with him felt off.

after a long stay in different countries, of course parents would ask almost never ending questions about how you’ve been, where you’ve been..and who you’ve been with.
