North to Nowhere

Karbon Aarons had planned the perfect two-month vacation up north with her best friend from kindergarten until now, Penelope Minzo. Karbon wanted a relaxing and fun time with her best friend and family and knew her vacation would go smoothly if Nico Minzo, Pen's older brother, stayed away on a business trip. Nico always made Karbon nervous when she was alone with him, and he knew it. He prided himself on making her sweat and denying she liked him. Nico always stood too close and stared too long, and said the most inappropriate things to her and meant it. He was not a man to mince words. Karbon always knew her body was in danger when Nico was around. He started his campaign when she turned 20 and never stopped.
Karbon did not tell her family about her plans. Still, Eli and Debra Aarons discovered her secret. They invaded their daughter's vacation spot and brought Zachary Heni and his parents to force their daughter to honor some agreement the families made without Karbon's participation. Their ridiculous and blatant attempts to force their unruly 22-year-old daughter to obey them and Zachary cause chaos and ruin in Karbon's life that Nico was ready and too happy to take advantage of.
