I won't allow something as inconsequential as love to get in my way. Even if it means pushing away the only one who's ever made me feel something. Remy Solace. She's a dangerous distraction. She's the sun, threatening to incinerate the darkness from my soul, and keep me from focusing on what really matters—what I've always wanted.

The stress is killing her, so she decides to take a night off and attend the Breakup Bash—a private party for women celebrating their breakups—with her friends.
