The Backup Contact

By Elena Wrenlow

Mara Venn deleted Elias Vale from her phone two years ago.

Apparently, he never deleted her from his life.

When a hospital calls in the middle of the night to tell Mara she is still listed as Elias's emergency contact, she knows she should hang up. They were never officially together. He never officially broke her heart. He simply disappeared, leaving her to wonder if she had imagined the connection between them.

But Elias has no one else.

One late-night hospital visit turns into a quiet ride home, an awkward morning, and one long day of unfinished conversations. As old feelings return, Mara has to decide whether Elias is finally ready to choose her clearly, or whether she is still just the person he calls when no one else answers.

The Backup Contact is a short, emotional contemporary romance about almost love, second chances, and the difference between being needed and being chosen.
