Millicent-Milli to those who know her, has always lived in the shadow of her older brother, Tommy Merlyn, and his best friend, Oliver Queen. Like any typical little sister, she grew up with a quiet, hopeless crush on the boy she was never supposed to want. But Oliver had Laurel. So Milli stayed silent... until one night. At her senior party, with too much to drink and years of feelings bottled up, she finally confessed everything only to be met with rejection that cut deeper than she ever expected. And then, the very next day, Oliver Queen boarded the Queen's Gambit... and was presumed dead. The loss shattered everything. Heartbroken and unable to stay in Starling City, Milli leaves for New York after graduation, trying to rebuild her life while holding onto the few connections she has left especially Thea Queen. But when Thea calls with news that turns Milli's world upside down, the past she tried to escape comes rushing back. Now, Milli must face the truth, her lingering feelings, and the heartbreak she never fully healed from. Because some loves never fade... and some hearts never mend the way you hope they will.
