Everyone in their small town knew Lara and Astrid were inseparable. They were young, in love, and unmissable. The kind of couple people talked about like they'd last forever.

Then, without warning, Lara disappeared.

No goodbye. No explanation. One day she was there, and the next, she was gone. Rumors spread, grief settled in and Astrid was left with a hollow ache and a thousand questions she couldn't answer.

Five years later, Astrid receives a letter. No return address. Just her name, in handwriting she hasn't seen since she was seventeen. Inside is a single message: the address of a hotel, and a room number.
