Before everything unraveled, there was the beginning.
Cassey never wanted Beckley High. Expelled, punished, and finally shipped off, she was left stranded in an all-girls boarding school she hadn’t chosen. Feeling abandoned, and out of place. Every hallway felt like a maze, every face a stranger, and home had never seemed so far out of reach.
Then she met her.
Andrea Night was everything Cassey wasn’t. Confident, magnetic, and effortlessly beautiful in a way that drew every eye without her even trying. Untouchable. And yet, with just one glance, one quiet smile, something inside Cassey shifted. The walls she’d built around herself began to crack.
This is where it began, the hesitant hellos, the small moments that mattered more than they should have, and the fragile thread of love tying two girls together, neither of them knowing the price it would one day demand.
A prequel novella to I’m Still Yours, Even Now, this is where Cassey and Andrea’s story truly begins.
