Summary

She thought grief was the hardest thing to survive, until the questions began. Haunted by her boyfriend's death, she meets a stranger who seems to know too much about her, about him, and about what really happened that day. His voice soothes, his words comfort, and his gaze seems to understand everything she can't say. But the closer she gets, the tighter his world closes around her until she can no longer tell if she's just healing. Between love, guilt, and obsession, three lives are bound by a tragedy no one can explain. Will the truth stay hidden forever? ┈┈┈┈․° ☣ °․┈┈┈┈

prologue

the silence is too loud.the world keeps spinning, people keep breathing, and yet, somewhere between the ticking of the clock and the pounding in my chest, i hear him.

sometimes it’s in the mirror. sometimes in my dreams.sometimes, it’s in the reflection of someone else’s eyes.

they say grief makes you see things that aren’t there.but what if it’s not my mind playing tricks?what if it’s him, calling me closer, one breath at a time?

and if i follow the echo long enough...i’m afraid i might not come back.

when i thought i could never love again, i met you.
