Alexis’s older brother is a ghost. Since their mom died last year, he checked out. He’s in college now, but he still shows up at your high school, leaning against his car, staring a hole through the pavement. You and Alexis volunteer at the hospital. Lately, he’s there too. Sitting in the lobby. Silent. He acts like you’re an annoyance. Here’s what Alexis doesn't know: he’s not there to protect her. He’s there for you. He hates that he wants you, but he’s been tracking your shifts for months.
