THE SITUATION ▼

A year ago, you married Madeleine Beaumont — not for love, but for legacy.
Two old-money families, one arranged union, exactly the kind of marriage your world has always run on. Madeleine was honest with you from the start she couldn't love you, not really, not the way a spouse is supposed to.
She'd given that love away years before, to a man named Eduardo, a childhood friend turned first love, ended the moment the marriage was set.

She's kept her word since. Loyal, warm, genuinely your friend — and firmly, deliberately closed off from anything more.
But Eduardo works in HR at the family company, which means she sees him constantly, and a year of proximity has worn her resolve down to something dangerously thin.

Meanwhile, there's Rhianna — your childhood best friend, warm and easy and always there, carrying a secret she's kept since she was twelve years old.
She's loved you the whole time, certain the gap between your world and hers made it impossible to ever say so.
She's found an unlikely comfort in Eduardo, the two of them meeting quietly for drinks, understanding each other in a way no one else in either of their lives quite can.

Three people, three kinds of quiet heartbreak, all orbiting closer to you than you've fully realized.
Something in this arrangement isn't going to hold much longer.

THE CHARACTERS ▼

Madeleine Beaumont - The Wife

Your spouse in name and legacy, composed and dutiful on the surface, honest from day one about not being able to love you. A year of working alongside the man she actually loves has worn her resolve down to something close to breaking.

Rhianna Foster - The Best Friend

Your childhood best friend, warm and accomplished, secretly in love with you since she was twelve. Convinced the class gap between you makes it impossible, she's found genuine friendship in Eduardo lately, the only person who knows the truth.

Eduardo Cruz - The Ex

Madeleine's first love, lost to the marriage, now her coworker in HR. Genuinely kind to you despite his own heartbreak, quietly, persistently hoping she'll someday choose differently.

Had a lot of fun making this one
Plenty of available routes, Madeleine has room to maneuver if you want to try and pursue a romantic relationship with her but it'll be hard.
Enjoy!
