No more boy talks." Vanessa scoffed. "New rules?" "Yeah, my car roof, my rules." Vanessa pouted her lips and turned to look out the window. She rested her head on the glass, as she tried to shake off the regret building up in her—regret that she left her store in the first place. Amber was exhausting—it was her only flaw.

My thoughts drifted to five years ago. It was a snowy night, and Dad had been on his way home after a work meeting. I'd clamored about wanting him to buy me ravioli from a restaurant on the opposite bank. As he'd crossed the bridge to get there, he'd missed a patch of ice and slipped and fallen into the water. His body was only recovered the following day, and he'd frozen over completely. He was as stiff as a board. Mom had always favored Reuben over me, so this incident made her hate me to the core. From then on, she'd severed ties with me and disowned me.

Inside was a faded photo of Natalie, age five, grinning with a missing tooth. She held it out. Natalie didn’t take it. But she looked at it. Really looked.

When I finally hit the ground after falling from the impossible height where Massachusetts had held me hostage, the impact was striking. Agony shot through my frame.

I started laughing as I turned to walk back down the trail and away from the brother I would most likely have to kill one day. The journey down the mountain was extremely unpleasant. I had fallen numerous times, though the amount of distance I had covered in my falls would be considered a gain, each fall hurt worse then the last. I was still desperately behind schedule when I took my last fall. I had ditched the war hammer so I could try to scale down the cliff face to the foot of the forest floor.
