Saving Addie

She thought no one saw her. Then they pulled up a seat.

Addison has spent most of her life trying to disappear. Blending into the background to stay out of the line of fire. Between cruel comments from bullies, and eating disorders, fake smiles and a home life she won't talk about, surviving the day is enough of a victory.

Then there's Finn. Gentle eyes, quiet sympathy, and a seat saved just for her. He sees through the lies she tells everyone-tells herself-and maybe, just maybe, he's not the only one.

Addison never asked to be saved.
But some people show up anyway.
And they stay?
