Amelia fell in love with her best friend in art school and then, with almost comic timing, became the least lovable version of herself she'd ever been.
Her parents got sick. Her uncle stole the money.
She had to drop out. Her parents died anyway, and she was left with debt she couldn't pay and a life she couldn't look at directly. So she did what frightened, ashamed people do: she disappeared. Four years later, while she was outside a convenience store pretending a cigarette counted as a plan, Mabel found her.
Now she lives in Mabel's apartment, smiles on her arm at galas she doesn't belong at, and tries very hard not to be in love with the only person who ever came looking for her.
