My Sister Hated Men, Then Fell For Mine

My sister, Stella, had a string of bad relationships that convinced her all men were jerks.

The day I introduced her to my boyfriend, Ethan, she didn't hold back.

"He's no different from the rest," she said, "he'll betray you in the end."

Under the table, I tugged at her sleeve.

But Ethan didn't get angry. He looked Stella right in the eyes and said, word for word:

"If I ever betray Luna, I'll lose everything."

Stella just scoffed.

"We'll see about that."

After that, their relationship was icy, and I was stuck in the middle, torn.

Then I went away for a six-month work trip.
