Vincent and Wendy seem to have this great relationship. They are happy and in love except one night after an intense intimate night Vincent disappears. Wendy is distraught not just that he left her but, how he left her. Wendy leaves New York and moves to Rhode Island where she has built a new business. She seems to be moving on but is truly unable to connect to another man. Friends of theirs are celebrating a birthday in New York and they encourage her to attend where she is seen by Vincent. Vincent wants to fix things with Wendy. The issues that supposedly existed have been resolved. Now Vincent came across as this man who was strong, determined and morally gray but it did seem out of character to me that he would just come back and expect Wendy to forgive him for basically destroying her life. Now Wendy appeared to be naive, Vincent was getting all these strange phone calls and she accepted his flimsy excuses. She truly loved and trusted Vincent, so his treatment of her really did destroy her trust. Most of the book revolves around this push and pull thing between them as well as some additional twists. I did enjoy the book but felt like a lot of their problems could have been resolved by just discussing things.
