Summer would look at me with wide, innocent
eyes and call me “Ethan.” I loved it when Olivia
called me “big brother,” her voice teasing. But
she rarely did it unless I pushed her. That’s why
I’d been so annoyed when she called Alex
“Alex.” Summer was like meeting fourteen-
<
year–old Olivia all over again. I only realized
that after I lost her. Yes, I lost her. She walked
away with Ashton, calling me “Ethan” willingly,
leaving without a second glance when I called
her back. I trashed the room in a fit of rage,
added Summer to our group chat, and kicked
Olivia out. And just like that, she was gone.
