Garren doesn't understand how he wound up escorting Soula to the Exhibition Hall for the famed Botanical Gardens Event, in addition to his own entry, he's hiding the truth of an experimental antidote for Lady Arsenic.

Soula knows that requesting a favor means it can be recalled at the worst time—and it is. She has hundreds of better things to do than listen to Carson boss her around as a temporary tour guide. Except—Garren is the one 'porting her back and forth and maybe, he's not so bad after all.

But he doesn't seem interested in courting her at all and his shadows—scare her. How can she court an uninterested Pareya without giving in to the need to rewind every interaction they have? Can she sort things out on her own? Or will erasing her problems fix everything?
