Chloe Knight is a caregiver to younger brother and sister after her parents are murdered. Not long after the parents death Chloe's younger sister become seriously ill and is diagnosed with leukaemia. In a desperate attempt to get a job she meets Jai...
"I had to read a book to Aleysa. It's something she used to do with Mum when she couldn't sleep. She told me I had a beautiful voice like Mum's." I sit at the side of the bed. "I miss my parents, Jai."
He sits up in bed. "Do you want to see them over the weekend?"

I sit next to him. "Yes, I want to see them. Can we do it after we go bungee jumping tomorrow."
Jai smiles. "I forgot that you were going to take your sister there." He climbs out of bed. "I need to charge up my camera. I don't want to miss an opportunity of seeing you jump from a bridge. Don't forget to give us a huge scream when you jump."
If he was still in bed I would have hit him for saying that, but he's probably right about me screaming.
He pulls the camera out of the bag and puts it on charge. He walks back to the bed and climbs in. He wraps his arms around me. "I think I might try it as well. I have never been bungee jumping before. I might try something different once in my life."
I close my eyes as my head rests against his chest. His breathing evens out as he fall asleep.

There's banging on the bedroom door followed by. "Chloe, Jai, get out of bed. We're going bungee jumping today." I feel Jai move under me. I open my eyes and look at his beautiful chocolate brown eyes.
He has a smile on his face. "Good morning, baby. Are you ready to get the day started?"
I nod. "I'm looking forward to bungee jumping today. What about you?"
"Scared shitless."
I touch his arm. "You're going to do better than my brother. He doesn't want to do it. I hope he changes his mind about it." I climb out of bed and walk to the closet. I pull out a pair of ripped shorts and a tight t-shirt. I put my clothes on.
