BRIELLE
I pulled up to the ancient farmhouse, my sports car sputtering and
coughing over my muttered objections. Smoke billowed out from under
the hood in thick, acrid plumes as I turned off the engine with a
resigned sigh. Just my luck. First my life falls apart, now my damn car.
I sat there for a moment, hands still gripping the steering wheel, staring
at the freshly-weeded flowerbeds and sagging porch of my new home. If I
could even call it that. This place was a far cry from the sleek city loft I was
used to. But beggars can’t be choosers, and after the mess with my father, I
didn’t have much choice.
Sighing, I grabbed my designer luggage from the backseat, the
expensive leather looking out of place next to the rusted sedan parked
nearby. As I lugged my bags towards the house, I felt the weight of
everything pressing down on me. The scandal, the debts, the broken
relationships. It all clung to me like a shadow I couldn’t shake.
The porch steps creaked under my feet as I approached the front door,
my heart pounding in my chest. I raised my hand to knock, then hesitated.
What was I even doing here? Cassidy had every right to turn me away after
the way my side of the family had treated her. My father fed his daughters a
steady diet of complaints and curses about his deadbeat sister and her
equally awful daughter, and we were eager to giddily tell Cassidy all her
faults every time Grandma summoned us to Crescent Hollow under the
guise of “family bonding.”
But explanations were not excuses, and I had nowhere else to go.
Taking a deep breath, I rapped my knuckles against the weathered
wood. A moment later, the door swung open, revealing Cassidy’s surprised
face. Her gray eyes widened as she took in my disheveled appearance. Hair
falling out of a ponytail, wrinkled clothes three seasons out of style,
chipped nail polish. We’d ragged on her for making mud pies as a kid, but
now she looked radiant while I was the hot mess.
“Brielle? What are you doing here?”
I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly dry. “Cass, I… I’m sorry to just
show up like this, but I didn’t know where else to turn.” My voice cracked
on the last word, and I blinked back the tears that threatened to spill over.
Cassidy’s expression softened, and she stepped forward, enveloping me
in a warm hug. I stiffened for a moment, caught off guard by the
unexpected gesture, before melting into her embrace. Her familiar scent of
vanilla and cinnamon wrapped around me like a comforting blanket.
“Come on inside,” she murmured, pulling back to usher me through the
doorway. “You look like you could use a hot meal and a good night’s
sleep.”
