We Don't Leave
Who can you believe when you can't trust your own eyes?
Hayden is excited to begin a new life with her husband, Sid, after he accepts a job offer back in his hometown. She doesn't love the idea of being so far from her family, but she understands why he's pushing for the move—after a car wreck and addiction issues, it makes sense that he'd want a fresh start. Sid has even agreed to throw a party to celebrate the transition.

But when Hayden steals away to their cottage for some time alone, she makes a shocking discovery.

Terrified, she races home, but by the next morning, she's more confused than anything.

What did she really witness? Is her mind playing tricks on her? If she's right, what she saw might upend both her marriage and her very freedom.

But Hayden can't risk making accusations, not without proof.

After all, it's not the first time she's seen something that wasn't there.
