Fitch had his plans all mapped out, so the moment he confirmed Zoey was on board, he snapped up plane tickets without a second thought.

After all, there was a whole saga waiting for them in Greenfield. When Zoey's accident shook the community, the Pennyfeathers and others were in an uproar for ages. Now with her return, the buzz was bound to reignite.

The old secrets couldn't stay hidden forever.

Deep down, Fitch dreaded the return to Greenfield. It was a place filled with bitter memories for Zoey.

Yet, it was also home to people who cared deeply for her-Maja, Carol Miller, even lan Raymond had been touched by her supposed demise.

Throughout their journey, they turned heads, drawing attention from passersby.
