Thirteen years ago, I became the lone survivor of an accident that changed life as I knew it. Thirteen years of shouldering the guilt of simply existing, while constantly trying to convince myself that I deserve to be here.

Then, I met her. Eyes wide, fear-stricken, as she begged me to help her hide. I didn’t ask questions, I didn’t even know her name when I dropped her off at the airport. I told her to build a life she was proud of, and she did.

What I didn’t expect was for that life to collide with mine two years later, while my contract is on the line. I can’t afford to get distracted, but with her bookstore right across from a team favorite hangout, mixed with the fact that she's my dog's new favorite person, it gets harder by the day to deny the effect she has on me.

When our past and present collide, I'm left with one harrowing realization: I may have saved her then, but her quiet strength is the only thing saving me now.
