When they forced me back home, I had every intention to bring them down along with all the others who made my life miserable.

But the three boys of my past are slowly working their way back into my heart in a way I wasn’t prepared for. The longer I’m home, the more I realize I can’t hurt them.

But I also can’t tell them the truth.

There’s no stopping what I started. And once they find out, the newfound peace will be shattered. My plan of leaving Braidwood for good needs to be in place before the end of the year.

Or I’ll never be able to leave this nightmare of a town.
