“GET OUT OF THE LAKE HOUSE! MOM AND DAD ALREADY APPROVED OUR HONEYMOON!” my sister snapped. Taylor froze over the Christmas decorations. I gripped my coffee mug, staring at the dock I’d rebuilt with my own money. When I refused to leave, Madison banned me from her wedding. But our parents had told her one devastating lie about that house.
