Return Ticket

Your ex is still the best person to get lost with. Unfortunately, this time you need him to be somewhere on purpose—and stay long enough to mean it.

The travel guide you wrote together still calls you the perfect traveling companions, four years after the breakup. Now a paid anniversary edition puts you back on the train with photographer Kit Ellery, the man who could make any wrong turn worth taking and never understood why you needed a date for coming home. You want a book that sounds like the woman you are now, with your own name and your own plans. He brings familiar jokes, better questions, and a return ticket he never used to bother buying. Across three weekends revisiting the old route, you will have to decide which parts of your history deserve another look.
