San Francisco, CA. 1983. Anneliese and James absolutely despise each other, but they're physically and mentally unable to hurt each other; in which they find out when every attempt to dispose of the other fails miserably. She was in denial. They both were. In denial that the two of them could actually see each other romantically- but they could. They did every single day. Every look they shared was romantic. They were in denial of their feelings, that they could ever feel the opposite of what they felt when they first met. Or more simply; Two naive kids meet, hate, love, and face the bullshit that comes with living. This story includes mature and sensitive themes. (e.g abuse, domestic violence, alcohol/tobacco abuse, sexual themes) read at your own risk!
