The Breakup Mix (41 page)

I turned to head back downstairs when something caught my eye. A fat envelope was propped against an empty wine bottle on my bedside table. There was a short message scrawled on the front:

No more sad songs. I’ll see you soon.

Inside were four CDs, Alissa’s unmistakable handwriting on the front:
The Sunrise Mix
.

Now that sounds like a plan.
