It was the one-year anniversary of Scarlett’s best friend, Lucy’s disappearance, and Scarlett’s eighteenth birthday. Most days are somewhat insufferable, but today haunts Scarlett. Guilt runs through her. Maybe, she shouldn't have let Lucy leave that night, maybe things would have turned out differently. Maybe not. She thought she knew everything about Lucy, but why didn’t she know about him?
