I never wanted to come back to Waterbury. Not to the memories. Not to the grief that still fills the air I used to breathe.
And definitely not to the pity-filled looks that come with being the girl who lost her twin brother. But with my dad barely holding on and the memorial looming, I couldn’t leave him to drown in it alone.
Now, I’m stuck picking up the pieces of a family that barely exists, counting down the days until I can escape again. The last thing I need is my brother’s best friend pulling me back in—a stranger tied to everything I lost, yet somehow, the only one who feels familiar.
Gray doesn’t look at me with pity. He doesn’t treat me like I might shatter. With him, the grief doesn’t feel so heavy. The pain doesn’t feel like all I have left.
But letting him in means letting go, and I don’t know how to exist without the pain…
This town is a graveyard of everything I loved and lost. He wasn’t supposed to make it feel like home again.
