Lorena Lalina Schuett was a master of the "long game." She had spent nearly half her life perfecting the art of being invisible while standing right in front of the person she loved.
To the rest of the world, Lorena was the cool, observant photographer, the one with the steady hands and the unreadable eyes. To Miu Natasha, Lorena was simply "Lali," the girl who had been there for every scraped knee, every heartbreak, and every triumph.
But there was a poison growing in the garden of their friendship. It was a dark, thorny thing called jealousy.
For years, Lorena had watched Miu give herself away in pieces to boys who didn't deserve her. She had watched them hold Miu's hand, kiss Miu's cheek, and call Miu "theirs." Every time it happened, Lorena felt a fresh layer of ice form over her heart. She was the one who knew Miu's soul, yet she was the only one forbidden from touching her body.
The arrival of Miu's current boyfriend, Julian, was the breaking point. Julian wasn't just another guy, he was the guy who finally made Miu talk about "forever." And as Lorena watched Julian drape his arm over Miu's shoulders at a party, marking her with his casual, careless touch, the ice over Lorena's heart didn't just crack.
It shattered.
