Prologue

'You can keep your what ifs, I want real,'

It was the moment my train left the platform, I turned and looked out of the window to wave goodbye to my brother, and there he was. He was a complete stranger, someone I never thought I would know until he greeted my brother and a flash of hope lit up inside me.

Tropes: Strangers to friends, friends to forbidden love, brother's best friend, grumpyxsunshine.

From a wave goodbye to coming back a year later to start university. He was still there, still making my heart miss a beat. That was when we had our first hello.
