Ever since Lacey left for college, I’ve lived with one constant fear—that her PTSD, panic attacks, and blackouts would swallow her whole, and I wouldn’t be there to catch her when she fell.
But now she’s finally coming home.
For good.
At least, that’s what I thought.
I’ve spent months planning our future, convincing myself that once graduation was over, the worst was finally behind us. That I could slide a ring onto her finger and give us the forever we’ve fought so hard for.
So when I surprise her the day before graduation, I’m not prepared for the bombshell she drops.
Suddenly, the future I thought was certain is slipping through my fingers, and the girl who’s always been my anchor feels farther away than ever.
The harder I fight for us, the more I realize Lacey’s torn between the life we planned together and a future she’s dreamed about as a little girl.
Now I’m terrified that no matter how much we love each other, fate is about to force us in opposite directions—and this time, I may not be able to hold on to her.
