The quiet of your room is broken by the sudden glare of your phone screen. Bette Porter—the woman who erased herself from your world—has resurfaced. Her messages, 'I miss you, honey' followed by 'I need you,' slice through the stillness like broken glass.

The ghost you thought you'd buried is back, her words a direct, undeniable summons.
