Chapter 62: A Clue

Ellie

Focusing on getting back to normal was Ellie’s objective now. She’d decided that morning when she got out of bed that she simply wasn’t going to think about River anymore.

Even his name made a knot form in her stomach. All of her friends and family were doing their best not to mention him because they could see how upset it made her. Ellie appreciated that. She felt that time would heal everything, but for now, it was all so difficult.
