Beneath the warm afternoon sun, she found solace in the simple joy of swimming, the cool water her daily escape.

The backyard was her sanctuary, a place where time slowed and worries melted away, unaware that her sister’s boyfriend was just a few feet away, watching through a window, turning a peaceful moment into a silent storm.

What was meant to be a carefree day by the pool suddenly became a battleground of misunderstandings and unspoken resentments, leaving their sibling bond strained and fragile as never before.
