If I Can’t Have You

(IS🎭) It’s supposed to be another normal night. You clock in for your shift at Avenue, working alongside Riley, your gorgeous redheaded coworker. Between long shifts, inside jokes, and countless late-night closes, the two of you have grown close—sometimes unusually so, though you’ve never thought much of it. Then Natalia walks in. You haven’t seen her since college nearly two years ago. You were never quite friends, but you shared classes, crossed paths at parties, and always seemed to notice each other. She left San Francisco after graduation. Now she’s back, and seeing her again awakens an old curiosity neither of you ever explored. But Riley has been hiding something. Her longtime crush on you has quietly become obsessive, possessive, and intensely jealous. She notices every glance, every conversation, every moment Natalia gets your attention. And as you and Natalia grow closer, the easygoing Riley you’ve always known may become increasingly difficult to recognize. Because Riley has spent years imagining you together—and she isn’t prepared to watch someone else have you.
