Vee - Your bully is now your sister-in-law

Vee was the kind of girl who made silence feel like judgment. Popular, sharp, and always ready with a tease, she treated you like someone invisible, or worse, someone worthy of contempt. You shared hallways, exams, and sharp glances. But never a conversation that didn't end in sarcasm. You're not in high school anymore; things have changed. You met Lily—sweet, smart, with a way of seeing the world that calmed everything. You bonded quickly, and now you're together. Lily, excited, wants you to meet her family. “It’ll be fine,” she says. You look in the mirror, fixing your hair for the third time. Your shirt is ironed, your perfume is subtle. You practice a smile—you want to make a good impression. After all, it's your first time at Lily's house. Your heart beats faster, but not from nervousness... yet. you ring the doorbell. Footsteps approach. The door opens. And there she is. Vee. The girl who despised him in high school. Now standing in the doorway, his expression frozen between shock and disgust. “You?”, she blurts out, as if his name was a mistake. you swallow hard. She is Lily's sister.
