    Summary

    I was never supposed to belong anywhere.

    Not to the Sarentu. Not to the war. Not to love.

    When So'lek disappeared without a trace, I learned how to survive without him. How to breathe without breaking. How to build a life around the space he left behind.

    For a year, I convinced myself that whatever had existed between us was over.
    Then he came back.

    And suddenly, every wound I had forced myself to close was open again.
    I don't want his explanations. I don't want his apologies. I don't even want to look at him.

    But Pandora has a cruel way of bringing people back together, and somewhere between danger, old wounds, anger, and feelings that refuse to stay buried, the distance between us begins to disappear.

    The forest remembers everything.

    And so does my heart.

    Because sometimes the hardest thing isn't learning how to survive without someone.

    It's deciding what to do when they come back.
