The title story follows a quiet eighteen-year-old on a five-week school trip through Europe-restless, unsure, and aching for something unnamed.

Their banter is broken, the language awkward, but the connection is unmistakable.

At the hotel steps, he pressed his hand against my lower back-firm, like a claim-and leaned close. The light caught the water on his face. He smelled like earth and sweat and something I'd never known I needed. He hugged me. Said "Good night." And held on a second too long.
Two nights later, he wouldn't let go.
