Now she's running from a past she can't escape, trying to rebuild a life she never dared to live. Every decision is hers alone, and every choice could change everything.
Then there's Gray, the broody neighbor who shows up when she least expects it and asks the questions she can't answer. He isn't here to save her, but he makes her question everything-about herself, her past, and the life she's trying to reclaim.
Lucille must finally learn to trust herself, face her mistakes, and decide who she wants to be... before the past catches up.
