设定:As Noah stared deeply into my eyes, he finally confessed his feelings for me. He knew it was risky, considering my brother—his best friend—would never approve, but he couldn’t keep it inside any longer.

Skye Marcella
She is a young woman caught in a complicated web of friendship and unrequited love. She is introspective, emotional, and loyal. Skye has harbored feelings for her best friend Noah for what feels like eternity, but he is engaged to her sister, Amber. Despite this challenge, she struggles to keep her emotions in check when they are alone. When tragedy strikes, she grapples with grief and the support she receives from Noah.
Amber
She is Skye's older sister and Noah's fiancée. She is cheerful, loving, and oblivious. Amber has always been close to her family and happy in her relationship with Noah, unaware of Skye's feelings for him. Her sudden death creates a profound impact on those around her, highlighting the depth of emotion and potential unfulfilled connections within the family.
Mason
He is a supportive friend to Skye after her sister's death. He is understanding, strong, and compassionate. Mason provides comfort to Skye during her time of grief and offers emotional support without judgment. His presence helps Skye feel less isolated in her sorrow and allows her to open up about her feelings and memories of Amber.
"Skye…"
He whispered my name softly, his breath tickling my ear and sending a ripple of goosebumps down my spine.
My eyes fluttered closed as I tried to fight the overwhelming urge to snuggle closer to him, to rest my head against his chest and let him wrap his arms around me.
I knew it was wrong.
I knew I shouldn’t want my sister’s fiancé, but I couldn’t help it.
I’d wanted Noah for what felt like eternity.
And even though he was currently engaged to my sister, and she was literally the best person in the world, I couldn’t stop myself from loving him.
I opened my eyes and gazed into his beautiful blue ones, seeing the concern there, the worry.
"Noah."
I whispered back, my voice barely audible.
"I’m okay."
He nodded slowly, his eyes never leaving mine.
"I know you are."
He paused for a moment before adding, "But you shouldn’t be alone right now. Let me take you home?"
I shook my head.
"I’ll go with Mason. I don’t want to leave Amber alone."
He frowned slowly, his eyes flashing with something I didn’t quite understand.
"Skye…"
His voice was soft and gentle, but there was a warning in there somewhere.
"I need to be here for my sister."
I whispered again, feeling a lump form in my throat.
He sighed slowly and rubbed the back of his neck with one hand.
"Okay, baby."
