I met Sarah Erickson when I was twenty-one. Fate gave me seven happy years before a terrible tragedy took it away from me. She didn't die, but sometimes I think it would have been even easier.

I lived as if wandering in the dark for four years after this accident. I fulfilled her every whim, but she hated my very presence. Yet I still clung to her, to the future we were going to build together. But it is impossible to cling to a person who is simply no longer there.

I did not understand this until I met Jess Edison, a barista at a local coffee shop, and I did not realize that on that tragic evening I had lost not only Sarah, but also myself. . Jess helped me let go of the past and love again. But what happens when your past life invades your present life, and the woman you once loved refuses to accept the one without whom your existence has no meaning?
