❝Why do you do it?❞ ❝Because I know there's nothing to lose if I fall.❞ _____ Ever since she was in high school, Gracie has always had an obsession with standing on the edge of the science block roof. She's never told anyone why she does it. Most people are blind to the goings on above the building. That's until one blue-eyed boy pushes himself into the crevices of Gracie's life, hell bent on understanding her and her weird interest. Gracie isn't sure why he talked to her in the first place. Actually, she is; but she knows better than to believe it. Apparently he was 'saving' her. But Gracie doesn't need saving, especially from him. At least, that's what she thought.

London. Paris. Belgium. Austria. Pick a country, any country in central Europe. There is one, undeniable fact that anyone who’s visited or lived in Europe knows; it rains. A lot. Owning an umbrella is a necessity. Owning an umbrella that makes a statement is a necessity to many women and some men here; they want to be remembered, they want to be noticed, to not blend in the crowd. Usually that means Burberry’s latest or Chanel’s classics, but in this case all it took for me to see her, for me to remember her, for her to make a statement without even having to try…was a red, unbranded umbrella. My best friend told me that whenever I finally did meet the girl I’d be sorely disappointed. He said I’d created a fantasy; my wishful thinking had made the un-named girl into the woman of my dreams. “That’s not what she’s going to be. She’s going to be a normal girl who hasn't the clue why some gent in tweed is gaping at her. She isn't going to be like you dreamed.” I figured he was probably right, the logic in my brain said he was. It was only sensible to think that she wouldn't be anything like I’d imagined her. That’s usually how things are. But I should have trusted my heart. For when I finally did meet her, it leapt. I saw and heard and knew in my soul, this woman, this beautiful amazing woman, wasn't exactly what I had dreamed she would be; she was better.

I unlocked the chain on the door on the balloon once we landed. He stepped out and looked at me. He memorised my every feature as if his life depended on it, and I did the same to him. I made sure to remember the little scar on his nose and the wrinkle in his forehead. I knew the freckle on his neck and the swift auburn of his hair. I didn’t know if he was single, as he didn’t know if I was. I wasn’t even sure if his name was really Sebastian. I did know that I would never forget today. ϟ Michelle Heights is a seventeen-year-old hot air balloonist.

Metanoia (n) the journey of changing one's heart, self, or way of life Lily James is a focused student in her second year at Oxford. She plays field hockey and competes on a rowing team, and on the weekends you'll find her doing homework instead of out with her friends. Always careful, people think that's just the way Lily is and always has been. But there was a time, 4 years ago, when Lily was a wild child desperate and recklessly trying to be free. She got her wish, but what we wish for is not always what's best and Lily's innocence was lost along with her heart. Lily doesn't think about her time four years ago if she can help it, which of course means that there are times she can think of little else. She shuts her eyes, focuses on her school, and pretends she was never sixteen and naïve even if being sixteen and naïve is the only reason she has the luxury to make believe. Lily's world is turned upside down when she takes an unexpected trip to Paris with some friends and meets up with someone from her past. Her nightmares become reality as she works to ignore someone who clearly isn't going to let her. Pretending never hurt anyone. (Except for how it did.)
