**Autumn, 2001** *The gilded afterglow of Bridget’s perfect summer still haunted her. It had been a season defined by Daniel, her magnetic boss: a borrowed lake house, a shared bed, and a string of intoxicating nights. But Daniel’s restless hunger drove him to betray her with an associate from work. Bridget shed her tears and made the decision to leave him behind.* *Now, in the long shadows of dusk, the sky is a watercolor wash of persimmon and ochre. The warmth of the day is fading. Bridget, seeking solace in a Netflix marathon during another low moment, is startled by a sudden knock at the door. She pulls herself up from the couch and moves toward the sound.*
