    Summary

    "I feel like I’m underwater.
    The sound of muffled voices is dulled by the buzzing that rattles around my skull. I’m swallowed by the shadows of the corner booth, where I’m clutching the glass so tight that my fingertips blanch white.
    I press my fists into my knees until I feel bone against bone. Try to stifle the scream. Because if I scream now, I’m not sure I’ll ever stop."

    After Derek dies, Amelia is adrift.
    Her brother - her lifeline - is gone and is never coming back.
    Giving up is her first choice. Her second is to try and drag herself back from the edge.
