Echoes

Winnie

I thought I knew what I wanted—what was right, what was safe, what wouldn’t break me.

Then Bryce’s shadows started whispering secrets. Then Xander’s fire burned too hot to ignore.

And suddenly, I was caught between two forces, both pulling me in.

They’re my best friends, my protectors. But we all know something between us is shifting, changing.

The problem is, if I let go, I might fall.

Xander

I was always the steady one. The one who knew where I stood. Winnie was mine. Bryce was my brother.

But now, I see the way Winnie looks at him.

And I can’t lie to myself anymore—I see the way he looks at her, too.

I should fight this, but deep down, I know the truth. Bryce and I are fire and shadow. And Winnie? She’s the storm that binds us.

Bryce

I tried to stay away. To bury what I felt. To pretend she wasn’t the only warmth in my darkness.

But Winnie sees too much. And Xander? He already knows.

This thing between us is inevitable.

The only question is: when the truth finally comes out, will it destroy us?
