Story

The story

Sarah and her brother Sam share a hopeless talent for unrequited love. Sam chases Adrian, a stoic business tycoon, while Sarah has quietly adored Julian, the wealthy heir to a real estate empire, for years. Then word arrives that both men are getting engaged to other people.

After a disastrous gala where Sarah gives Julian a tie clip and a clumsy goodbye, the siblings flee to a private island in Southeast Asia to escape their heartbreak. But two very angry, very powerful men track them down, thanks to a reckless status update Sam posted before they left.

Now Sarah must face Julian again, and the feelings she never dared to speak aloud.

Then, the news broke: both of our crushes were getting engaged to other people.

My brother and I stared at each other in silence for a long time. Then we ran away.
