I came home early for Thanksgiving break, hoping to surprise my family. The moment I walked in, my brother, Marco, pulled out his phone and called 911. “I need to report a break-in. Someone’s broken into my house.” It wasn’t until the police rushed in, pinned me to the floor, and slapped handcuffs on my wrists that the panic finally set in. “Dad, Mom, Dante, say something. It’s me, Elodie.” My parents both shook their heads. “We don’t know her.” Even Dante, my boyfriend of five years, wouldn’t meet my eyes. “Probably just some stalker.” I was taken away for a mandatory seventy-two-hour psychiatric hold. When I got out, the only person there to pick me up was my best friend, Chloe. My eyes were still red and swollen. As soon as I slid into her car, the words tumbled out. “Chloe, why would Marco call the cops on me? This has gone too far. It isn’t funny.” She said nothing. She just drove to The Plaza. I was about to ask why we were there when I froze. Through the grand glass wall of the ballroom, I saw Dante and my twin sister, Sofia, kissing in front of a massive wall of roses. Inside, my parents were smiling, clinking champagne glasses with the guests. Chloe let out a soft sigh beside me. “The truth is, Elodie, for the past few years, the person Dante’s been in love with is Sofia.” “Tonight was supposed to be their engagement party. You coming home early… Sofia almost fell apart.” “You’ve already had five years with Dante. This time, just let her have him.” As a shower of gold streamers rained down from the ceiling, I stood rooted to the spot. I understood. Everyone knew. Everyone but me. … I lifted a hand to wipe away my tears, my voice trembling. “You kept this from me for so long. Why are you telling me now?” Chloe still wouldn’t look at me. “We’ve been friends for ten years. I couldn’t let you keep walking around in the dark.” “And Sofia really wants your blessing. She feels like the night won’t be complete without you here.” “I’m making myself clear. After tonight, can you just stay out of their lives?” Listening to her plead Sofia’s case, sentence after sentence, felt utterly absurd. So, she did remember we’d known each other for ten years. When her ex-husband used to hit her, I was the one who stood between them. When she got a job at my company, I was the one who got her the interview. I’d even pulled strings to get her younger brother his internship. And now, she was telling me I was the one in the way. I stopped trying to talk to her and just stared at the couple on the stage. I had to go in there. I had to hear it from them. But the moment I reached the ballroom entrance, two security guards blocked my path. “Sorry, ma’am. This is a private event. Invited guests only.” I pointed inside. “I’m the bride’s twin sister. Why can’t I go in?” The guards exchanged a glance. One of them gestured awkwardly to the side. “If you’re Elodie Bellini, then you’re exactly who we were told to stop. The ......
