Owen, your closest friend, visited often.

You and Owen were on the verge of a potentially life-altering kiss when your father interrupted, asking for a private conversation.

Frowning as you left, you assured Owen of your return. But your father firmly stated in the hallway.

”You and Owen cannot be together.”

Infuriated, you found it absurd until he revealed,

”He is your long-lost older brother.”

The clink of glass made you turn, finding Owen in shock, tears in his eyes.
