“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

tell her as I walk into Kate’s home.

It was our monthly get–together. Just like the last one, I didn’t want to be here. The only reason I

She comes to my front when I don’t answer. My eyes stare at her, unseeing.

“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.
