Chapter I
Chapter I introduces Henry, born on September 4, 2013, in New York City, a city that both shapes and intensifies the emotional struggles he experiences. From the outset, Henry’s existence is marked by an emotional sensitivity beyond the ordinary, something that traces back to the congenital condition he was born with—a heart that was repaired, yet somehow left overly exposed. His heart, though physically fixed by surgeons, feels too vulnerable, amplifying the highs and lows of life to an unbearable…-

Chapter XIV
Chapter XIV paints a vivid picture of Henry Strauss as he walks alone through the dimly lit streets of New York City on the evening of March 13, 2014. The city, usually alive with sound and movement, feels silent and distant, with only the echo of his footsteps accompanying him in the dark. Wrapped in the cool, crisp air of the night, Henry finds himself lost in thought, his mind consumed by a single name—Addie.

Chapter 2
Chapter 2 begins with a jolt—one that leaves me startled on the wet pavement, Bear’s leash tugging insistently in my hand as the sharp scent of rain and engine oil fills the air. The sleek car, now creased and steaming near the curb, looms in my peripheral vision. Chapter 2 forces me to meet the eyes of the man who caused it all—Alex, as he later introduces himself—removing his sunglasses to reveal a concerned expression that seems surprisingly sincere, especially given the circumstances. He kneels…-

Chapter 1
Chapter 1 begins with a gray sky stretched low over the city, rain misting the windshield as I drive toward the gates of Thornfield Estates. It’s a routine trip now—leave behind the cracked sidewalks and water-stained ceilings of Center Point, and step into a neighborhood where even the air feels cleaner. The rain pelts harder as I pull into the Reeds’ circular drive, the kind of place designed more for show than for need. Mrs. Reed greets me at the door, hair immaculately curled, lips painted to…-
