Damien's POV Last night when I was on my way back home, something fell out from my wallet. That was when I found out that her birthday is the next day.

I tried to think past the blur, past the heat and the music and the taste of champagne. I remembered my friend tugging at my wrist, telling me to loosen up, to live a little. Just one night, Daphne, she’d said. One night to forget about everything. And now here I was, in a stranger’s bed, except he wasn’t just any stranger.

But today, it felt like a warning. I pulled my coat zipper all the way up, trying to fight the chill. After spending the night in Finley’s room, I decided to return to my dorm early.

The morning that contained everything that had come before it. Her letter arrived in a thick envelope. Don opened it at the kitchen table. Ernest was not yet there. The light was gray through the window. The first snow of December had come the night before, and the ground was white. She said: the four books are complete as a body of work.
