"Prologue

Leaving the Past Behind

Seattle, Washington

Emily Sloane extended the handle on her rolling suitcase and took one last, sweeping glance at her old college apartment. The room was bare now, stripped of books, thrifted artwork, and secondhand furniture that had once made it feel like home. Apart from a few more red wine stains on the carpet, it looked much the same as it had on the day she moved in. A blank canvas, brimming with possibility.

Much like she had been herself."
