Eventually, an old family friend provides a clue that sends Lily to Southeast Asia to find out the truth.

About the Fall I thought I had almost everything. Good looks. Parties. Girls whose names I never learned. Life was easy... or at least it looked that way. I never let anything get close enough to matter. Then Miranda. She didn’t flirt back. Didn’t care who I was. There was a quiet sadness in her, like she was already halfway gone. And for reasons I still can’t explain, I couldn’t walk away. One winter night, in the middle of a snowstorm, I found her sitting alone. I sat beside her. No words. Just shared silence, cold air, and something beginning between us. What grew between us ...
