Story
The story
On the day Silas Peyton and Evie Langston were to move to the same city, she vanished. Days later she called him from behind cold concrete walls and lied: she was heading to Europe for a better life, and they should never speak again. Five years on, Evie scrapes by at a stall in the Blue Ridge Night Bazaar in Asheville, painting nails and selling handmade trinkets. Then a couple stops at her table: Serena Cross and Silas, who recognizes her at her lowest and tosses money at her like charity for a beggar.
What he never learned is why she disappeared. Before leaving, she returned home to find her stepfather beating her mother; when she tried to stop him, he turned on her, and she killed him with a fruit knife. She was sentenced to five years for manslaughter, and her mother hanged herself a week later. Now, invited to her college roommate Madison Vance's wedding at the Vance Regency Hotel in Manhattan, Evie must face Silas, Serena, and the classmates who no longer recognize her.
She has something to give back to him. It is time to return it, and let go.
Opening excerpt
The day Silas Peyton and I had planned to move to the same city, I couldn’t make it.
He might never understand how, after just a quick trip back home to pack, I vanished without a trace.
A few days later, I called him. The moment he picked up, his voice was sharp and accusing: “Evie Langston, were you planning a cliff-edge breakup?”
