The one person I thought I’d never see again was standing right in front of me and all I could do was stare in awe. I could feel both of my cheeks heating up and my breathing was far from steady.
I wish I could say that I did something brave like walk over to her and accuse her of the unimaginable things that she did to us but I couldn’t. At the drop of a hat, I picked up the grocery bags from the floor and ran as fast as I could towards the apartment.

But somehow, somewhere, she's completely convinced that the fates hate her. Just when her life is turning out to look a little less worse, of course, something else starts to happen again. With the unlikeliest situation that she never would have believed possible, Hailey now has to make the choice of moving on or being the same lonely little girl she once was.
