All That Remains Is Goodbye

Nova Sterling spent her whole life loving her uncle, Ewan Shaw, the man who adopted her at ten. She donated part of her liver to save him, and in return he publicly humiliated her, let her suffer, and finally came at her with a knife to avenge his beloved, Wynter Linwood, who died when Nova refused her a kidney. Then Nova wakes up on the day Ewan first begged for that kidney. This time she says yes, intending to repay eleven years of care and call it even, and she secretly signs up for a remote national project that will take her far away. She burns her old love letters, calls him "Uncle Ewan" again, and no longer pleads for his attention. Ewan, who is busy planning his wedding, begins to notice that something in her has gone cold.
