Herc

Meghan

Almost everyone I knew from my days in the Beta Beta Psi sorority has moved on. Marriage, careers, family. Me? I'm sitting in my fancy house, surrounded by everything I could ever ask for. But I can't have the one and only thing I truly want. Him. Herc left after one scary night when he thought he'd hurt me. I'm functioning without him, if you call moping and isolating myself from the world functional. But now I'm faced with a reunion of all my friends, meant to celebrate Cass's pregnancy and to jolt me out of my funk. But how can I face all of them when I can barely breathe?

Herc

Every day I see her lake house and remember that night. I've spent the past year punishing myself over it. Still, life isn't all grim. I've managed to avoid seeing Meghan while rebuilding my relationship with my dad, the ex-con. However, I can no longer avoid seeing her when my old college friends show up for a reunion without inviting me. All the memories of our time together have come back to haunt me. She looks good. Too good for the likes of me. But there's no one else who can do for her the things I can do. The only problem is ... do I want to risk hurting her again?
