7:04 p.m.
Wednesday, September 2nd.
No one knows it, but at this moment, three things are certain:
Lily Myers is about to disappear,
Liam Duke is about to have his heart broken,
and Henry Caruso is about to meet the love of his life.
But Liam wasn't always the confident boyfriend, Lily wasn't always the troubled girlfriend, and Henry definitely wasn't always the loving cousin.
So how did they get there? It's kind of a long story.

✦ A/N: Hi friends! Even though this story is a prequel, it is intended to be read as a follow-up to The Search for Lily Myers, so make sure you go read that first! There are major spoilers in this book for that story, so I definitely don't recommend reading this one first. Nothing in this book should be 18+, but I will try to put a trigger warning at the start of the chapter if I think it might be helpful to do so.
