Lou Clark has many questions.

How she ended up working in an airport bar and spends every shift watching others fly off to new places.

Or why the apartment she has owned for a year still doesn’t feel like home.

Whether her close-knit family can forgive her for what she did eighteen months ago.

And will she ever get over the love of her life?

What Lou does know for sure is that something has to change.

Then, one night, it happens.

But does the stranger at her door hold the answers Lou is seeking – or just more questions?

If she closes the door, life goes on: simple, orderly, safe.

If she opens it, she risks everything.

But Lou once promised to live. And if she wants to keep that promise, she has to let him in.
