When Helena finds a phone on the night train, she decides to text the first number in the list of contacts in order to figure out who it belongs to. ***** Helena Santos hasn't had the easiest life. At twenty-one, she's the legal guardian of her teenage sister, in the final year of her nursing degree, and working night shifts at her small-town's local bar. And things get a lot more complicated when she finds a phone on the train home and decides to text the first number in the list of contacts, in hopes of tracking down its owner. That contact? Adam Bauer; the charismatic, sweet, and refreshingly honest older brother of the person who lost their phone. As the two continue talking, they can't ignore the chemistry and growing feelings between them, but life is never that simple.

Perfectly curled mahogany hair. Eyes so blue that it looks like the sun was shining right through them. Her smile so bright that it leaves me completely speechless. Her laugh reminding me of the soft melody of wind chimes hanging in trees. When her cheerful voice leaves her perfectly rose-colored lips my heart jumps up in joy, leaving me completely breathless. Being with her makes me feel like I'm about to fly away. Being with the most complex and confusing girl I have ever met makes me feel like I have finally found my second half. And that only after spending 11 days with the girl who pulled me into her unique world, changing me into someone I can't recognize myself. The one who extended my limits and showed me that even I, Riley Young (a socially awkward and shy nerd attending senior year in High-School), am capable of doing unexpected and crazy things. And after all the time we have spent together, I have asked myself how my life would have turned out if I would have never met the ineffable Keira Rudd. [A short story about the sixteen-year-old Riley Young who meets Keira Rudd. A complex girl who teaches him that life is more than just simply following orders and studying for good grades.]
