   Summary

   Three years after the Black Comet, Shadow keeps his life small: A greenhouse full of lavender, a phone full of missed calls, and silence that he can control. He has spent years guarding his past like a fragile relic that he could lose at any moment - again.
   But when Amy Rose stumbles into his quiet routine, Shadow must learn that opening his heart again doesn't mean letting go.
