    Summary

    Set three years after the reversal of the Sudden Oblivion (what they called the year humanity ceased to exist), Carol Sturka had finished the Wycaro series and released her new book, Starfall, a fictional story about a hive mind taking over an entire space colony. Carol's still getting used to her astounding success when she comes back into her life.

    Zosia stood near the corner of the street, Starfall in hand, wearing a soft, pale yellow shirt and jeans—more casual than Carol ever remembered seeing her. Her dark hair fell just above her shoulders, slightly shorter than before, and her brown eyes seemed to light up as Carol met her gaze. She appeared to be trying, and failing, to contain her smile. It grew as Carol walked toward her, which she didn’t realize she was doing until she was so close it was unbearable. There was nothing to do but embrace her, which Carol did without thinking, the reality of it sinking in only when Zosia’s voice—soft, unmistakable—reached her.

    “Hi, Carol.”

    She remembered.
    She was here.
