    About this ebook

    Mary’s obsession with the boy band Caelan began in high school. She and her friends went to the shows, picked their favorite band member, and plastered their walls with posters. Mary’s obsession leaked into college but soon was placed in a box of memories as she matured, fell in love, and built a life with her husband. 

    But Happily Ever After is elusive. When she suffers a horrific loss, can she depend on her old dreams to salvage her mind? Can she wander through those memories and still keep reality within her grasp?

      Chapter One

      Mary turned off the television as Devin finished singing the last note. The music faded away as the video credits rolled by. She curled up with a sigh. Good night, my love, she whispered in a sleepy voice.

      Devin was the lead singer of the band Caelan. He invaded her fantasies every night with his long, wavy black hair that settled below his shoulders and blue eyes smoldering from underneath unnaturally long lashes.

      Like Mary, Devin had a Mexican mother. When he sang, a part of her responded that made her blush with excitement and confusion. When her alarm woke her, she could still hear the song playing in her head.

      I don’t know exactly what he does to me; I just know I like it.

      Morning, Mom, she shouted through her door right before her mother opened it to wake her.

      It was their daily ritual. Her next step was getting cleaned up for high school. She showered and dried her hair, applied the little makeup her mother allowed, put on jeans and a T-shirt, and headed downstairs to eat breakfast.

      Her mother was waiting. Hola, bonita, her mother said.

      Mom! Mary chided.

      Please never stop saying it.

      At school, Sara, her best friend since fifth grade, met her at her locker, as she had every day for the past six years.

      When Sara asked about her weekend, she told her about last night’s dream.

      He’s the quiet one, the ones who seduce you without saying a word, she explained.

      Sara rolled her eyes.

      We’re sophomores in high school, Sara, we can dream about boys.

      You daydream so much, you walked into the wrong classroom last week and the week before. Sara chided her. I’m worried, Mary.

      I’m fine, Sara. I only want to think of him all of the time. I promise I’ll look where I’m going. Mary felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment. Really, I mean it.

      This all started when your dad left, Sara said as she walked away.

      It’s not because of my dad. Mary called after Sara as she headed to her first class.

      Mary sat in class, wondering if she was drawn to Devin, someone she didn’t know, because it was easier than dealing with the real world.

      She’d always been shy. She spent the day dreaming of meeting Devin, thought about Sara’s words, and admitted to herself her love of music had gotten stronger when her parents had separated. She’d been thirteen. She’d felt okay split between two houses, until her dad moved to New York. She could still remember that conversation. The words stung.

      Mary, I got a job in New York City. I have to take it. Her father’s voice cracked with emotion.

      You left me. Job or not, you left me.

      It wasn’t that she disliked Santa Clara, but once Dad left, it felt empty, and she’d turned to music. Her bedroom walls were covered in posters of Devin, and when high school started, she became president of his fan club.

      She even created a blog for him, giving her an excuse to read more magazines and watch all of the band’s interviews. Anytime the real world became harsh, she’d scour the internet for news no other blog had the time to track down.

      Mary, you know that boy isn’t going to marry you. Her mother repeated each time she found her, a worried expression on her face.

      I know, Mom. Mary would reassure her with a lie.

      After a while, the lies didn’t work. Her mother took her to a therapist almost a year-to-the-day after her father moved to New York.

      I’m okay, Mom. The claim went unheard—or ignored.

      Your father moved across the country, and you’re obsessed with this Devin character. I want to make sure you’re okay. Okay? The tears in her mother’s eyes got instant agreement. Mary didn’t want to see her mother hurt anymore. So, she went to the therapist.

      It turned out to be a wonderful outlet for her. She could talk to someone confidentially and found the discussions of motivation and behavior fascinated her. Even after therapy
