Lord Cavendish's name was on the guest list the night Avery won the Oscar for Echoes in the Ash. Not just his. Eleanor's and Righley's too. It feels like just yesterday...
Avery was so moved she could barely look at the audience from where she was standing. I could hear every single crack in her voice as she thanked every person who worked with her to make Echoes perfect. I could feel her soul when she thanked... me. For having been at her side all our lives.
I remember Eleanor's hand reaching for mine, squeezing my fingers with joy. I remember Righley cracking jokes to hide how emotional she really was in that moment. And there's also another thing I remember clearly: the way Lord William looked at Avery as she received the award. He sat next to me, and I felt his genuine happiness radiating off him.
No, it wasn't just happiness. It was pride. Pride for Avery, for the woman she'd become. 6Please respect copyright.PENANAqGrSAM4vhC

What you may not know is just how much that moment meant to her.
Sure, you could argue: who wouldn't be emotional winning an Oscar?
But we promise, it wasn't just that.6Please respect copyright.PENANAa3WidrT6x3
Not for Avery, at least.
If you want to understand why Echoes meant everything to her... there's only one way to find out:
read the novel when it's out.
September 1st is closer than it seems. 🖤6Please respect copyright.PENANAj4VJu06Aav
