Summary
Mike and El have been inseparable since they were twelve, bound by everything they survived, everything they built together, their love can survive anything. By 1996, they have a beautiful life, and a daughter they love more than anything, Violet.
Then she’s taken one warm night in May, and nothing will ever be the same.
Snatched away at four years old by people who created Subject Eleven, Violet vanishes without a trace, leaving Mike and El to spend the next decade trying to live around an aching grief that never dulls.
Ten years later, they get her back, but Violet is not the bright, intelligent, and spunky girl they once knew.

Summary
“Lucas, what do you think?” Mike directs his question to his oldest, most trusted friend. Was he just clinging onto childish hope, or was this a mission worth tackling?
“I think we should have helped El when we had the chance,” Lucas answers honestly, guilt cracking at the edges of his voice. “And now we have one.”

or

Summary
Mike Wheeler is, in every sense, a shell of the person he used to be. Days melt into years, success arrives without feeling, and the book deal he once longed for does nothing to fill the space inside him. Only El’s absence still maims him—persistent, potent, impossible to ignore. But then, she appears to him one night, in a vision that feels far too real.
Or El accidentally pulls Mike into the void after years of estrangement and they, slowly but surely, become one again.

Summary
He reaches for the glass of wine again. He takes another swallow. And then—
It happens. It’s nothing. It’s a flicker, a second, a feeling at first. The hair at the base of his neck feels like its been grazed, electric and immediate and impossible—so, utterly impossible. Because he hasn’t felt this since—since—
Mike readjusts in his seat, just a little. Fingers brush his, feather light. And then the world tilts, and he’s swallowed into the darkness. He hardly has the time to breathe before he looks up and sees her. Not a hallucination, not a stranger on the street with the same hair, or the same style. Her.
El.
--

In the Spring of 1993—somewhere in New York—Mike cannot seem to adjust to life without her.
