Heartbroken, Avery makes a decision she knows Lucian will view as a betrayal. She also knows that she is taking the coward's way out. But she could never look Lucian in the eyes and tell him she's leaving him. Tell him that it's for the best. Tell him he will always be her lighthouse.

She believes that as long as they are together, he is in far more danger than she is. And she can't have him crashing against the tide trying to save her.

Please don't try to find me. Let me love you enough to let you go.
