Summary
Christine Marsh inherits her dead grandfather's farm and two suitcases' worth of reasons to start over. She's good at starting over. She's good at leaving — slipping out of jobs and cities and relationships so quietly nobody feels her go. She's less good at staying.
Shane is less good at everything, or so he'd tell you. He works at JojaMart because it has health insurance. He drinks because the alternative is feeling things. He raises his goddaughter because her parents are dead and he was the name on the paperwork and some days that's the only reason he gets out of bed.
They had three months together in Zuzu City, five years ago. He ended it badly. She let him.
