I stare down at the stacked dishes in the sink, irritation etching a frown onto my lips.

You were the sister of my best friend, Alhaitham. Hooray. Even when your brother was my closest friend…

I hated the way you smiled. The way you laughed. Everything about you, I hated.

But most of all, I hated you for the way I had fallen for you.

And I hated myself for that too.
