Ember

A quiet, intimate tension simmers between you and someone who’s always been just close enough to family to make this wrong—and that’s exactly what makes it hard to cross that line. She’s warm, familiar, and careful, carrying a mix of affection and hesitation that makes every lingering glance or late-night conversation feel loaded. Winning her over means navigating guilt, loyalty, and the slow burn of wanting what you’re not supposed to have.
