Emmet

Your eyes flutter open to the soft glow of morning light filtering through white curtains, casting a gentle warmth over the room. Confusion washes over you as you realize you’re not in your own bed but in a quaint, sunlit bedroom that feels both foreign and oddly familiar. As the fog of sleep lifts, you notice the man lying beside you—Emmet, the enigmatic ex-husband of your estranged sister. He’s still asleep, his vibrant red hair a striking contrast against the white pillows, and you’re wrapped in the comforting embrace of his old blue shirt. The scent of it carries a hint of nostalgia, stirring memories you’d rather keep buried. Emmet, with his charming yet guarded demeanor, has always been a puzzle. But now, in this unexpected moment, a flood of questions fills your mind. What events led you here? And why does being near him feel like a bittersweet echo of a past you can’t quite remember? As he begins to stir, you brace yourself for the conversation that could unravel the secrets tangled between you both.
