- - - > He was like poison, slowly seeping into my skin, drowning all of me in something numbing, something frightening. He peered at me with his half empty hazel eyes and I wondered what he saw as he leaned forward and locked his lips to mine, breathing me in. Did he see something more in me like I did in him? Or was I merely a blank piece of paper, waiting for him to just leave a ink mark tattoo upon my soul? <- - - When Mila meets Coan freshman year, she's instantly attracted to him. But, behind every pretty smile is a dark past, and Coan is no stranger to loss.
