after the silence | sachston

Andy never called after Paris.

What started as a day became a week. Then a month. Then five years.

Andy convinced herself that staying silent was easier than explaining why she left. Emily convinced herself she was angry. Instead, they spent five years carrying the same hurt and longing.

When Fashion Week throws her back into Emily Charlton's life, Andy tells herself she'll survive a few awkward encounters and go home. Instead, a storm cancels every flight out of the city and leaves them stranded together in a hotel suite.
