Now, in a bar near her hometown on the Jersey shore, her future is about to change forever. . . "Your panic is your friend. It loves you and it's just trying to protect you.

And before Heather could brush him off, his arm touched hers and the result was electric: she felt her fear and anxiety drop away. Who was this guy? "I am who you think I am." Oh, God. "That's very good. It's about time we straightened out a few things in your life." His voice was like a sanctuary, a safe and lovely haven, and she felt enveloped by a cloud of serenity.
