Happy Friend Day

When the plant stops being a plant, it's already too late.

Camille's best friend Avery bought it as a friendship anniversary gift. She ordered it from a storefront with five-star reviews and free shipping. Camille hated it but kept it anyway, because that's what you do when someone you love picks something out for you.

That was a mistake.

What's sitting in Camille's apartment by nightfall doesn't need sunlight anymore. It doesn't need water. And Camille's phone is in the other room with the thing that used to sit quietly in its pot.

And somewhere in another state, Dominic has the same gift.
