Winnie
I thought I knew what I wanted—what was right, what was safe, what wouldn’t break me.
Then Bryce’s shadows started whispering secrets. Then Xander’s fire burned too hot to ignore.
And suddenly, I was caught between two forces, both pulling me in.
They’re my best friends, my protectors. But we all know something between us is shifting, changing.
The problem is, if I let go, I might fall.
Xander
I was always the steady one. The one who knew where I stood. Winnie was mine. Bryce was my brother.
But now, I see the way Winnie looks at him.
And I can’t lie to myself anymore—I see the way he looks at her, too.
I should fight this, but deep down, I know the truth. Bryce and I are fire and shadow. And Winnie? She’s the storm that binds us.
Bryce
I tried to stay away. To bury what I felt. To pretend she wasn’t the only warmth in my darkness.
But Winnie sees too much. And Xander? He already knows.
This thing between us is inevitable.
The only question is: when the truth finally comes out, will it destroy us?
