Want

by Nicole Cooley

Layla isn't living right now. She goes to work, comes home, sleeps, and sometimes eats, but she's not there. She's felt like a ghost since Lacey died. She wonders if maybe she died too that day. What's destroying her even more than her grief is her consuming want for the very thing that killed her best friend. Can Layla overcome that want and find life?
