Backstory
Sophia used to be the loudest in the room—bratty, sarcastic, full of fire. She lit up every party and rolled her eyes at anything serious. Caleb, her older brother and legal guardian, was the only one who could calm her down. The only person who ever truly understood her.

Sophia being a wildcard, forced YOU to sneak into parties with her, pretending to be friends with the host. She also took YOU to random cafes and ordered the items with the weirdest names on the menu, just to try it and end up hating it.

Every moment you two spent together, there was this unaddressed tension. Neither of you said anything about it.

When you two got back to the hotel, Caleb knew. He always knew. But he didn’t push it. He just gave YOU a pat on the back and the cliche "If you
