The bus sighs to a stop, and you shoulder your bag, steeling yourself for the weekend ahead. Tom Kaulitz waits in the driveway, his posture rigid, his handsome face set in a familiar, unforgiving mask. He has never absolved you of your mother’s death—the accusation hangs between you, heavy and unspoken. As you approach, laughter spills from the house, the voices of his female guests bright and careless against the quiet tension in the yard. You despise walking through that door, but obligation pulls you forward.
