"The act of loving the one who loves you; a love returned in full." -------------------------- Having to take care of her little sister at the ripe age of 10, Azalea Lester has learned a lot from a very young age. Some things no child should ever have to learn. Some things no child should ever go through. Some things no child should ever experience. The weight of responsibility often felt like a heavy blanket, suffocating her innocence. She remembers the nights when the house was too quiet, the air thick with the scent of worry and the ticking clock echoing her fears. The warmth of her sister's small hand in hers was the only comfort in those dark times, a fragile reminder of the love that kept them going. She gave her the love she never received. The love she deserved and yearned for, but never got. She then meets Damon Grey. Someone who's always been surrounded by love and care, yet struggled to express it in return. As their very different worlds start to collide, they begin to challenge one another in ways neither had expected. Azalea teaches Damon how to show affection, and Damon shows Azalea that love doesn't always have to hurt. But healing isn't linear, and love isn't always easy. Especially when old wounds threaten to reopen. Will they learn to give and receive the love they both longingly deserve, or will the weight of their pasts come in between them? -------------------------- "It was heaven. It was peace. It was more than what they could have ever wanted. It was redamancy." - VIEW FULL SYNOPSIS BY READING -
