The Banshee’s Unmistakable Love

BRIAR
Blair never told me that Zander was returning to town. I’m unprepared when I spot him for the first time, and even more so when he approaches me.
Then he calls me Blair, and my brain seems to turn off. So, what do I do? Not correct him.
Stupidly, I pretend I am, in fact, my sister. Each moment spent with him afterward makes my childhood crush grow stronger—but my heart breaks a bit more each time.
Can he really not tell the difference between Blair and me?
We keep spending time together, and now I’m in too deep. I have to figure out how to tell him I’ve been lying about who I am this entire time. Even thinking of the outcome scares me.
Will I break his trust far past repair, or will he reciprocate the feelings that I’ve been hiding since childhood?

ZANDER
Getting back to my hometown after being away for four years feels great. I’m excited to go to my favorite local restaurants, see my childhood best friend Blair, and her twin sister—who I’ve been crushing on since the sixth grade.
They may be identical, but there’s no mistaking Briar from Blair. Briar is everything I want, but have never been able to reach.
So, when I get to town and she’s the first person I see, I’m flooded with the same feelings I had when I left. What I don’t expect is for Briar to pretend to be her sister when I jokingly call her Blair.
Curiosity gets the better of me, and I decide to play along with her game of pretend. The more time I spend with her, the more my heart longs for her.
I can’t wait for this silly little game to be over so we can stop pretending and I can tell her how I’ve always felt.
