The Summer That Stayed

By Kate Lane

I killed my best friend.

I just don't remember how.

That's the truth Saylor is trying to outrun when she's sent away for the summer-far from the whispers, the judgment, and the memories that keep slipping through her fingers.

But no matter how far she runs, the guilt follows.

So does he.

Asa isn't kind. He isn't safe. And he definitely isn't someone she should be drawn to.

But she is.

In a way that feels reckless.
In a way that feels dangerous.
In a way that feels like falling.

And when the truth starts to surface-about that night, about Asa, about everything-

Saylor realizes some secrets aren't meant to stay buried.

And some people aren't meant to be survived.
