Losing Gwen was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to survive. I’ve never loved anyone the way I love her. But finding her was never about that. And now that I have found her–now that she knows the truth about me and the Island, I have to trust her to believe. Because her leaving me didn’t just destroy me–its killing Neverland. I need her to love me. But we all need her to believe again. Peter Pan has grown up and found the girl who left–but the stakes are higher than ever in this romantic conclusion to the story begun in Girl Lost.
EXCERPT
“You ran away.”
She gives an unladylike
snort. “You decided you were a delusion of my past, and then you expected me to
sit there and listen to your insane ramblings. Thanks, but no. I can’t do that.
I’ve had enough crazy for one life.” She bites her lip, and then blurts, “You
stole my file, didn’t you? That’s how you know about the Boy.”
“Do you remember the firefly
meadow?”
She goes still, and I smile,
gently. “You do.”
“That wasn’t real,” she
whispers, and I feel the shudder.
“We’d hide there, from the
lost boys. And you’d fall asleep telling me your happy thoughts, and wake up to
a galaxy of fireflies, and we’d chase them until you made yourself sick,
laughing. And then I’d hold you and we’d stare at the stars, and you always
said they were different. It smelled like jasmine and honey-“
“And wild woods and freedom,”
she whispers, her blue eyes impossibly wide in her pretty face. I take a
tentative step toward her, and touch her fingers.
Why are
your stars different?
“It wasn’t a delusion,
Gwendy. You know it wasn’t. Trust yourself.”
She shudders. “Can’t. My mind
lies. It wasn’t—“
“Gwendy,” I say, desperately.
Her eyes are filling with tears and I can feel
the disbelief, the way it will tear apart the world I’ve known, and the girl
I’ve loved, and I can’t. I move without thinking, catch her head and bring her
lips to mine.
