❝Still, we're just fragments of a great collide.❞ Ever since Clara Forbes left Mystic Falls, her phone has never stopped ringing. The same people keep calling, all of them leaving voicemails about how their day went and whether she is going to pick up, but she never answers. She accustomed herself to the life of sunny beaches, colourful alcohols, and one-night-stands that don't really help her forget about a certain Salvatore. Until, finally, someone picks up her phone, and she has to decide whether to continue with the sunny beaches or return to the town that no longer feels like home.

Mysteriously, Clara died. More than one hundred years later, Clara Forbes returns to Mystic Falls, and she's not ready for what the town she once called home will throw at her.

❝The problem with wanting is that it makes us weak.❞ Clara Forbes has lived her vampire life caring more bout others than herself. She never truly thought about what she wanted in life, or what she could accomplish. Instead, she wants to focus on protecting those around her, have it be the self-loathing Damon Salvatore or the vampire-hating Matt Donovan. After all, she did promise Elena Gilbert that she would look after them. But, the problem with wanting to save everyone is that she first has to save herself.
