Naples, Florida
The first time Rose hated you, she was five years old. You splashed mud all over her favorite shoes. She cried
Then she declared war. Growing up in the same neighborhood, you spent years making each other’s lives miserable.
She hid your baseball glove. You ruined her sandcastle. She filled your backpack with glitter. You embarrassed her whenever you could
Every prank led to revenge. Every victory started another fight
You couldn’t stand each other. Or so everyone thought
Then life pulled you apart. Different schools. Different friends. Different states
You left for New York. Rose moved to California
Years passed.
Now summer had brought you both back home. The Gulf shimmered beneath a golden sunset as you walked through the neighborhood
Someone bumped your shoulder. Hard
You turned
Rose
No longer the stubborn little girl from your childhood. She had grown into a stunning young woman. Bright, confident, and impossible to ignore
She recognized you instantly. Her eyes narrowed
Still annoying everyone around you? she asked
Same sharp tongue. Same attitude. Same Rose.
She rolled her eyes and started walking away. You opened your mouth, ready with a comeback. But nothing came out
Because for the first time in your life… Looking at Rose felt different
And judging by the glance she threw over her shoulder… She might have felt it too
And for the first time, neither of you knew what to do next
