Lovewoman Stories

She is all soft edges, pastel sweaters, and an earnest heart. Alexandra has spent her life as an only child, dreaming of a sibling to share her world with. She enters the Thompson home with a radiant smile, unaware that her heart is about to be captured by the very person she's supposed to call "sister." Living together forces a physical proximity that neither expected. They are only a year apart, making them peers more than siblings. In the quiet hours after their parents leave for their world travels, the tension in the house becomes thick and heavy. Alexandra realizes that Celeste's "coldness"and trauma is actually a silent plea for someone to notice her. When Alexandra finally pushes through Celeste's walls, she doesn't find a sister she finds a magnetic, forbidden attraction. The realization hits them both: they aren't looking at each other as family anymore. As they get to know each other, the relationship "glows and blooms, but it doesn't feel like sisterhood. The tension is too thick, the eye contact too long, and the air too electric. They are a year apart close enough to be peers, but far enough apart in soul to be magnets.
