Running

Erick Wentworth has always been a runner. Avoidance is his specialty. So, when he somehow finds himself back in Uppercross, thanks to his sister Sophie and her husband Adam, he's flummoxed. It's the one city he swore he would never visit again. The same city where he met Anne Ilao eight years ago. And so, he does what he does best. He runs. Away from the truth, at least. Erick promises himself that he's over it, pretends he doesn't know her, and acts as though their relationship all those years ago never happened. But, he finds that running away from their past isn't as easy as he thought.  **This is a companion piece to the story A Sense of Self told from the point of view of Erick. Some of this probably won't make sense unless you've read that story, BUT I think that if you read this and are interested, you can also go back and read the original story afterward.
