❝So, Jayce took a deep breath as he made eye contact with the vixen, whose warm brown eyes reminded him of his sister's hugs, and he gave her a breathtaking smile. And as she smiled back, and he was lost in the curves of her lips and the twinkle in her eyes, he had hope that tonight he might be able to forget a little bit, to give his mind a break from all the processing.❞ Jayce was looking to forget. He didn't expect to get lost in eyes as warm as the summer sun. He didn't expect to find love that felt like being cocooned in the softest cotton. ❝Usually, late afternoon was her favorite part of the day. It was when the sun slid in through the cracks in her blinds to caress the mirror sitting upon her desk, causing several rainbows to decorate her room. Often, she took it as a sign-a reminder that everything was going to be okay.❞ Kandice was looking for happiness. She didn't expect to love a smile that twinkled like the stars in the sky. She didn't expect to find a mind as vast as the universe. Two college students, whose lives intertwine, when burden is heavy on both of their shoulders. Their love is far from ordinary, far from easy. *extended description within
