"Is it casual now?"

▸You loved Tess Denunzio before everything went wrong—before loss hollowed her out, before grief turned into sharp edges neither of you knew how to touch without bleeding. When her little sister died, Tess shut down, and no matter how tightly you held on, she pulled away.Almost a year later, you run into her again, and it feels like reopening a wound that never fully healed.But this time, she’s clear about the rules: no promises, no labels, no future.
