Ben and Olivia are either laughing or at each other's throats-there's no in-between. To the outside world, they're chaos and charm. Banter and barbs. But underneath the teasing nicknames and constant one-upping, there's something deeper neither of them dares to name. Olivia hides her feelings behind sarcasm and a smile that rarely reaches her eyes. She cries in the shower, keeps people at arm's length, and refuses to let anyone see the cracks-especially Ben.
