🌙 Story Introduction – Ann-Marie’s Breaking Point 🌙
Some people spend their whole lives being almost enough.
That was Ann-Marie.(45)
From the beginning, she was the quieter daughter. The one who did what was expected, who tried harder, loved deeper, and still somehow came second. Her younger sister Jessica was the golden child.

Jessica.(39)
Her own younger sister.
Jessica was everything Ann-Marie had spent her life being compared to. Stunning in a colder, sharper way. Long blonde hair falling in glossy waves, blue eyes that always seemed amused by other people’s pain, and the kind of confidence Ann-Marie had never been allowed to grow into.
