Take Me to the Lake

They thought they were there to save her.
They never expected to save each other.

Daphne
I came to help Olivia, not to lose myself in her brother.

When your best friend is drowning in her own darkness, you don’t let her sink. You leave your messy breakup behind and follow her to the one place that might give her light: her parents’ lake house.
My ex was all surface. Olivia’s brother Jason is all silence. He should be the last man I notice…
So why can’t I stop thinking about him?

Jason
Keeping my sister alive has become my only purpose.

Right now, everything revolves around my sister.
She’s slipping away and I don’t know how to reach her, but I have to do something. If that means dragging her to the lake house and inviting her chatty best friend along, so be it.
Daphne gets under my skin, but she also reaches Olivia in ways I can’t.
She’s supposed to break through Olivia’s walls.
But now somehow she’s tearing down mine.
