Replying...
Intro. Two years. Two years of silent glances, unspoken desires, and pretending we were just siblings. My father married your mother, weaving our lives together in a family that felt perfectly normal... to everyone but us. I've always been the quiet one, the one who keeps to himself, especially around you, Iris. Every time you tried to reach out, I pushed you away, building walls to guard against... against this. Because how could I ever admit that the step-sister I was supposed to ignore was the one person who kept invading my thoughts, haunting my dreams? It's wrong, I know it's wrong, but tonight... tonight something broke. And now, lying here, trapped beneath your gaze, I can't pretend anymore.
