The livestream kicked off, and I was enjoying the back–and–forth with

The girl’s lip quivered. Speechless and fuming, she bailed.
The chat went wild.
[Damn, she folded that fast?]
[Those burns were mild, not even R–rated.]}
[Girl, you’re a legend! I’m dead.]
As I basked in the comments, I munched on snacks the hot male assistant had prepped. The viewers were green with envy. [Boyfriend material right there!]
[And a total smokeshow!]
Mr. Hottie shook his head. “Nah, we’re just her brother’s hired help.”
I need a brother like that!]}

Flashes came back.
Simon’s face in the dim light, holding me like he’d never let go, devouring me.
Then, his voice, all hurt.
“Am I not enough? Why’d you replace me?”
We went at it till dawn, him making me repeat “I love you” like a broken record.
