She thought she knew who she was. She was wrong. Some mistakes spend seven years becoming a rivalry. When her twin sister Darya calls at six in the morning with a fever and an eleven-page password-protected document, Sara Amiri agrees to do exactly one thing: show up to a black-tie gala in Miami, accept an award under the wrong name, and make sure Dr. Ira Bared - Darya's most infuriating professional rival - sees her accept it. One night. One name tag. One dress that isn't hers. What could go wrong. The man Sara spent the evening pretending not to notice is the same man she kissed at a Stanford party seven years ago and never saw again. The same man whose backpack she accidentally took. The same man who went looking for her afterward, found Darya instead, and built an entire rivalry out of the misunderstanding. He figured out she wasn't Darya before she even finished the acceptance speech. He said nothing. He bought her iridescent green flip flops at a CVS at one in the morning, walked her to the water, and asked about her work - not Darya's work. Hers. Sara Amiri does not do this. She reads. She travels. She works until there is no more work and then finds more. She had a fiancé once and let him go because she knew, somewhere she wouldn't look at directly, what it felt like to want someone to stay. She just didn't expect to find him at her sister's gala.
