Maria Willows, a 24 year-old final-year medical student, did not anticipate that visiting the grave of her best friend, Blythe Arora, on the anniversary of her death would lead to life-altering revelations. Tormented by memories and unresolved questions stemming from Blythe's unexpected suicide during their 10th grade, Maria returns to her college campus only to be inexplicably pushed down a flight of stairs by an unidentified individual amid a gathering crowd. Rather than colliding with the ground, Maria awakens in a familiar setting: her former high school classroom, designated Grade 10 class 1. The scene appears ordinary until her physics teacher presents her with a complex question intended to humiliate her. To the astonishment of all present, including the instructor, Maria effortlessly solves the question. In that moment, the harrowing reality dawns upon her: she has travelled back in time. Equipped with her adult knowledge and medical training, Maria finds herself presented with a second opportunity. However, time remains delicate. As she begins to unravel enigmatic clues concealed in everyday items, such as paper stars, she gradually realises that Blythe's death may not have been a suicide, contrary to prevailing beliefs. With each step towards the truth, Maria uncovers a reality that appears to be a labyrinth of meticulously constructed deceptions. Can Maria alter the course of fate, unveil the secrets surrounding Blythe's tragic demise, and decipher the mystery of her time travel before time slips away once more?

The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees.

His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
