She walked away from everything to start over. The contractor already on-site was the boy who told her at seventeen she was doing it all wrong. He was right. She still hates him for it.
Ivy Chen bought her grandmother's cottage in Millbrook, Maine in the same week she left a Wall Street trading desk after a panic attack made the news. She needed, for the first time in fifteen years, to stop. The contractor already on-site is Noah Callahan, who told seventeen-year-old Ivy she was chasing a world that wouldn't want her. He was right about most of it. She went and built it anyway, in cities he said would consume her, in the years he spent in Millbrook. Noah hasn't said he was wrong. Ivy hasn't decided if she needs him to.
