Sad Stories

Riley doesn't remember the last time someone asked if she was okay. Not really asked. Not in the way that meant they were going to stay for the answer. She is seventeen years old and she has already learned the most important lesson this town has to offer - that people leave. They leave with promises folded neatly in their pockets, with good intentions they fully mean at the time, with duffel bags and bus tickets and fifteen days that turn into three years without a single word. They leave, and the ones left behind learn to stop waiting by the window. They learn to stop setting an extra plate. They learn to breathe around the absence until the absence just becomes the air. Riley works the late shift. She carries drinks to tables without being asked twice. She doesn't flinch at loud voices anymore. She doesn't cry at things that used to make her cry. She has become very good at being invisible in a room full of people - and even better at being invisible to herself. This is not the life she imagined. But it is the life she has. And she has made her peace with it, quietly, the way you make peace with things you never had a choice about. She is not waiting for anyone anymore. She stopped doing that a long time ago. Until the night a familiar face walks through the door - and three brothers who left her behind must now face what their absence built. Because blood doesn't forget. And neither does Riley.

"We've been living on a fault line, and for awhile you were all mine. I've spent a lifetime giving you my heart, I swear that I'll be yours forever till forever falls apart." -Ashe, Finneas Emerson Buckley has never taken the easy path. At eighteen, she left home not long after her older sister, determined to build a life of her own. College was supposed to be simple-study nursing, graduate, move on. But a few months in, Emerson realized she wanted something more. Something faster. Something that mattered in the moment. So she changed her path and became a paramedic. By twenty, Emerson had already earned her place at the 118. Now, six years later, at twenty-six, the station feels more like home than anywhere else ever has. Even with new faces and a constantly changing crew, she finally feels like she belongs. That sense of stability is shaken the day her twin brother, Evan Buckley, walks into the station wearing a firefighter uniform. Suddenly, Emerson isn't just balancing the chaos of emergency calls-she's dealing with her reckless twin working beside her every day. And worse? His best friend. Because Emerson has already learned the hard way that falling for someone you work with can end in disaster. But when everything in her life begins to fall apart, the kind of love she's been trying to avoid might be the only thing strong enough to hold her together.
