Trust is fragile. It takes years to build, but a single moment can shatter it into pieces too small to ever glue back together. I thought she was my sister in everything but blood. I thought he was my forever. But the night I saw her wearing his shirt, both illusions collapsed. She had stayed over countless times before. That wasn’t unusual.
