When Sarah's sister died a little over six months ago, she wasn't expecting it. She wasn't expecting the pain. She wasn't expecting her parents grief, all the tears that were shed, all the tears that were left unshed. She wasn't expecting anything.
But they were planning to go on the road trip. They were planning to see all the sights of Europe together. They were expecting quite a few things.
Told in the form of chapters, letters, and blog posts, this charts the loss, friendships, and adventure that comes out of death and road trips that create the memories you remember.

You may be gone, but you're never over
Prioritizing her oldest friend was something she sucked at, she knew that but she also knew that at least twice a year she had her priorities right and put her oldest friendship before all else... it wasn't enough not nearly but it was all she managed and once she realized it was too little, it was already too late and she'd never forgive herself for not having been a better friend to him.Complete
A dream
We were alone in the dark, just the two of us, as the moonlight filtered in. It was just the two of us facing each other in the night, as it had always been. She looked at me reproachingly: "What are you waiting for?" "I'm not ready yet. It's dangerous." The same reply as always, an excuse, a lie. I knew. I knew there was no reason to wait. There had never been. I knew I had wings. I knew I could be free. I knew I could fly across the seas. But that was precisely why I had never done so. There was always tomorrow. Or maybe there wasn't. That would've been fine in its own way. And I kept making excuses until one day a letter arrived. And a few weeks later, the next. And the next and the next, they piled up to a small mountain. And every night, in the dark, the girl dressed in a yellow raincoat and yellow boots would hold them up to show me that the past was catching up to me, telling me that instead of running, I should welcome it as an old friend. And that is how my journey homeward began.Complete

The Trap (Trapped Prequel)
Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.Complete

My Summer of '24
In the summer of 2024, what began as a routine family vacation quickly turned into a journey of unexpected reconnections and emotional complexity. During the trip, tensions between old friends lingered, and circumstances led to moments of quiet distance, but as the days unfolded, new bonds began to form under surprising circumstances. Despite the weight of personal loss and changes it provoked, there was a very subtle yet undeniably different feeling between two people's dynamic-a change between friendship and something more. Those passing moments of closeness and introspection stood out, with their mark on both but which time could only blur as life moved back to its groove and the nature of it all remained uncertain as with everything, time reshapes all things in its wake. What began as reconnecting slowly evolved into a complex web of emotions, leaving behind memories that would linger long after the season had passed.Complete
