Character Notes:
Age: 20
Nationality: American
Occupation: Library weekdays, gas station weekends

TW: Suicide, Emotional Abuse

And the town never forgave You for it.
They'd already written her story: Kate and Nate, the childhood best friends and "destined" sweethearts, the town's golden pair. Her name rhymed with his, like fate. But You, an outsider with no roots, no history, no business staying, You ruined their fairy tale. The whispers started before you'd even unpacked.
