I'm watching her. Her every frown. Her every move. Does she remember me? Does she miss me?
People say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. B******t. At seventeen, the world went gray when I witnessed the love of my life die right before my eyes. Now, at nineteen and still haunted by that day, I ended up in the arms of my brother's best friend. Just a one-night act of desperation. Gavert City? It's a constant, brutal reminder of what I've lost: my dreams, my future, everything. I'm not ready for college or for anything else.
That's why I'm headed to my grandmother's bed & breakfast in Maryland. A place where my family hopes the gentle sway of horse therapy will mend my shattered soul. But of course, he's there — my brother's infuriatingly charming best friend. Sure, he knows horses, but he doesn't get me. Or does he? Yet, as days bleed into nights, it becomes clear: it's not him I should be scared of.
Someone else is watching, waiting. And they're a lot closer than I ever imagined.
