“Is Noan coming?” my mother asks me.

“Not today, mom. I forgot to let Ava know, and I didn’t want to spring this on her all of a sudden,” I

“Rowan? What is it?”

My throat bobbles as I try to form the words.

“I just remembered the day I caught Ava trying to escape. Looking back now, I can’t imagine how

my life would have turned out had she managed to escape me.” I tell her.
