    Summary

    In 1994, Bob Reynolds’ parents shuttle him off to stay with his aunt in Ohio for the summer. It’s a daunting agenda; he’s never even met Aunt Carol. But it becomes a lot more palatable once he meets one of Aunt Carol’s neighbors – Yelena, fearless and fascinating and a fast friend.

    AND

    In 2016, Yelena Belova is newly freed from the Red Room’s hold on her, and desperate for something familiar and comforting to anchor her. Those years in Ohio were the first – and the last – time she felt that. Maybe, maybe she can be selfish, and try to track down the boy she’d once known, oh so long ago. That is, if he even remembers her.

    Summary

    Summary

    If you asked Robert “Bob” Reynolds when it started, he wouldn’t be sure how to pinpoint it. It had come so naturally and quietly that he only noticed once it had already taken root. When he was lying in bed, drifting to sleep at the sound of Yelena’s heart, he had sought and memorized.

    The one that was so calm and unwavering it drowned out the noise in his own head.

    He supposed that was one good thing that came out of having powers he never asked for…
    Until her heartbeat suddenly stopped, and it almost caused him to tear the world apart trying to make it start again.

    Or: Yelena’s heartbeat was Bob’s constant—the one sound that grounded him…until she got a new suit upgrade that muffled it, and he presumed the worst had happened.
