    Summary

    The Fullscore Trio have always been close. As Ray, Norman, and Emma grow older, their affection only increases—they share a bed, cuddle often, and aren't shy about kissing. It doesn’t matter if others find it strange. Others simply don't understand their bond.

    At least, that’s what Ray tells himself. But even as the lines between friendship and love begin to blur, plunging him into dangerous territory, Ray holds onto the hope that everything in their relationship is just what best friends do.

    Because if it isn’t, then what are they?

    Summary

    “Hey Ray … what do you want?”

    It’s a simple question, and it should have a simple answer. But when you spend your entire life believing you don’t matter, being selfish for once is no easy feat.

    Or perhaps it’s easier than Ray thought.

    Summary

    The three of them were like a braid: three strands tightly woven, no segment more or less important than any other. They were solid. Beautiful. Unbreakable.

    Summary

    “You were Mama’s spy for years. I guess it makes sense that you’d end up just like her.”

    Summary

    Emma had never really cared much about her looks before. She was strong and smart and loved her family fiercely, all of which were far more important than being pretty.

    But an overheard conversation about her appearance makes her question whether or not she really is beautiful. And if not ... was that bad?

    Summary

    “You can’t have two favorites!”

    Ray knew perfectly well that wasn't true. He didn’t play favorites between Emma and Norman—he loved them both equally. But the comment made him wonder … what if they did have a favorite? And if so, who would it be?

    It was painful to think about, but the more he dwelled on it, the more certain he was.

    If either of them had a favorite, it wasn’t him.
