"Do you think that just for a second," he'd asked, looking over at me, "just for one second, that if you didn't make me drop that gun, they would have killed me, too?" A group of friends in small-town California find their lives turned upside-down when a conflict beyond their comprehension shakes up their quiet lives. This is a short story version of a longer novel in progress.

"You can't even say her name out loud. You know what that reminds me of? Freaking Voldemort." Feliciano thinks of what people said after That Night. What they still are saying. He stands. Jamie looks like he wants to take the words back. "Love-" "Don't talk about her like that," he says. "In this house, we will not talk about her like that. It's enough that the rest of the world does." --- When Feliciano is seventeen, his best friend is accused of murder. Before he can wrap his head around it, she leaves town and cuts all ties. He's left heartbroken, with a million questions. The rest of the village is convinced that they stay in touch, that he supports a child killer. The mob isn't interested in whether it's actually true. They just want vengeance. Ten years later, she returns to a cottage in a nearby forest. Feliciano - and the rest of the village - have a lot of feelings about this. Maybe it would be easier to ignore her return, if it wasn't causing him to lose everything he has.
