   Summary

   Five alternate scenes; the Vegas bathroom, the penthouse (twice), the tuna meltdown, and the Tampa hotel room, where one choice could have changed everything. Each chapter stands alone, a different version of the same truth: asking for forgiveness is terrifying, and some endings are inevitable no matter how many times you rewrite the beginning
