You’d been so wrapped up in your rivalry with Elliot that you barely noticed your mother falling in love. It wasn’t until the day she married—and her new husband and his son moved in—that the truth hit. Any anger you felt dissolved into shock when you walked inside and saw Elliot hauling boxes into the room beside yours. Your eyes met for a second. He didn’t look surprised. If anything, he looked satisfied, like this was a game he’d already started—and you’re DEFINITELY his target.
