Story
The story
Darcy has spent her whole life running from anything painful or confrontational. That instinct follows her into her relationship with Garrett Cole, whose cold silences and forgotten birthdays she meets not with confrontation but with quiet retreat. Garrett mistakes her avoidance for grace, boasting to his friends that she is low-maintenance and never starts drama.
The illusion cracks at his college reunion, where the table pushes Garrett and his ex, Lacey Brooks, toward a couple's shot. Darcy finally speaks up, only to be warned not to embarrass him. Garrett tells the room she is merely a good friend and a roommate tagging along for a free dinner, then drinks Lacey's shot for her and drapes his coat over her shoulders in the rain. Walking home alone, Darcy sees Lacey kiss him, and he does not pull away.
Back at the apartment, a transfer approval to Auckland waits on her phone, and the deadbolt clicks at ten o'clock.
Opening excerpt
I was born a runner. My default reaction to anything painful or confrontational was to tuck my chin, turn around, and disappear.
In third grade, when the boy sitting next to me swiped my favorite eraser, I didn’t demand it back; I sobbed into my pillow that night and begged my parents to transfer me to a different district. In middle school, when a group of neighborhood kids cornered me for my lunch money behind the convenience store, I faked stomach flu for two weeks, lying in bed until the semester ended and they moved on to high school.
