The scariest moment is always just before you start.

~Stephen King
















DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to those that started this Ink Love with me, when Benson and Lauraine were just a cliché high school love story and would have ended with Lara moving to college and Benson having a nice life without Grace, to when I decided Benson was going to end up with Jake, and when it became The Inky Series.

















ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
