You were the little half-sister of John B Routledge. You and JB had the same dad, but different moms, who were both out of the picture. When John B first met JJ Maybank, and he introduced him to you, you were immediately smitten with him. And it only enhanced as you two grew up. But John B was highly protective of you, even though he was only older by a few months, and he had one rule for JJ: he could not under any circumstances touch you. Why? Who knew?

It just seemed like one of those dumb tropes you’ve seen in tv shows, or movies, and you knew that JJ never followed the rules anyhow. You’ve had boyfriends before. Or flings. But they never lasted, because there was only one person who was always in your brain, and in your heart, and that was JJ Maybank.
