When Stars Keep Us Apart

Sloane Shears was the elder daughter of the Shears family and a cheerful girl before any of this. Her younger sister was the one meant to marry Felix Selwyn, and Sloane took her place at the wedding, having wanted him herself for years. After the marriage her parents and Felix both kept their distance from her. Her sister arranged for a man to take Sloane and hold her. Sloane got word to her parents and to Felix, and none of them moved. She was killed while she was being held. Her spirit was given three months back among the living, on the terms that she settle what she had left behind and then go on to her next life. She used part of that time to walk into a banquet Felix was holding. He took her showing up there as proof that the kidnapping story had been invented, and he was harder with her afterward. She deleted the boyfriend simulation app she had built with his face on it and got rid of the love letters she had written him. Her parents and Felix went on treating her as they had.
