I take in a deep breath, the familiar way the ice cold air burns in my lungs, is comforting. I don't know why my parents ever chose to move. This little city is perfect.

There's early morning fog covering the roads, bringing back memories I didn't know I had.

"Olivia, where are you honey?" Stephanie questions, nearly walking into me. "Found ya'" She laughs.
