Thank you for reading and commenting! Yes, I considered just labeling this as an excerpt instead of mentioning that it was Chapter 2, which begs that question: What is Chapter 1? In the first chapter, Julia introduces herself, her best friend and her lonely life in Montana, which culminates in a night out that leaves her feeling embarrassed and sorry for herself, which of course would make anyone feel even more depressed. It's a low point, but I find it is a beautiful place to start the story. I decided not to post it, since the rest of the book takes off into the realm of science fiction once Louis falls into her life. Then again, perhaps I should post it. I think it's a great way for Julia to introduce herself, and I really love her character and the arc that Chapter 2 starts for her journey.
