I love these characters and this story that is so full of tension it’s palpable. I can’t imagine hurting someone as deeply as Brighton did, but I also understand why she didn’t want to be a sidekick when Lola had been giving main character energy in NYC. It’s a delicate balance and so many people have such a fear of conflict that they go along and go along until it becomes entirely impossible.

I can’t imagine the torture of being in this forced proximity situation with someone you’d known for 10 years, been in a relationship, which had ended in a devastating way. Knowing everything about the other person, and for reasons of self protection, pretending not to know them. The tension is going to be high with this one.
