You had me at "revisiting" :-)
You know, I really don't have a good answer for this. In the first few months afterward, I'm guessing she was afraid? She was ashamed? She was broken? All of the above? And then as time piled up on top of time, the fear of his reaction only compounded and it was safer not to see him and just remember what they had?
I'll tell you this, in The Ones That Got Away, the question is posed to Will: If you could go back and change anything you did on The Day Of Which We Will Not Speak, would you?
And Will answers, "I wouldn’t have left Fish alone at Colby Street. Dumbest thing ever. Telling Dais not to go over there, leaving him to stew in rage and pack up and leave. Idiotic. If I could go back, I would’ve slashed his tires or hid his car keys. Then I would’ve parked outside his bedroom and not moved. Or lay down in the driveway. Or better, I would’ve thrown Dais into his room, barricaded the door and not let them out until…something happened. Or someone died. I don’t know. But giving him space was the wrong tactic, I know that now."
And even in Here to Stay, Daisy asks Erik, “What would you have done if I came to your room that night?”
“I can only answer that in hindsight," he says. "It’s easy to say now I would’ve let you in and talked to you. Would I though? I honestly don’t know. I might have locked you out and ignored you. I might have let you in and sat there like a stone. I might have thrown you up against the wall and fucked you and then made you go. I might have just cried. I don’t know.”
I just don't know either.... Love brings out the best and the worst in us.

I just finished a charm of finches and I loved Geno so much. The book felt just as much his as it did Jav & Stef’s but I would love more, maybe see him as an adult, see how he his trauma affected his adult relationships and sexuality. What inspired you to write him? Do you think there’s more story to tell?
