(Prequel to my main story Everybody Loves A Happy Ending; be sure to give that one a read!) "We are all born so beautiful. The greatest tragedy in life is being convinced we are not." June 5th, 1985. A glimmer of sunlight is seeping through the clouds and there's a hint of humidity in the cool morning breeze. It is obvious to one's eye that summertime is coming. It's been a whirlwind of a week for Roland and Curt. With the arrival of their firstborn daughter just days behind them, they are taking everything in their stride as they adjust to the roles of Papa and Daddy. There are many precious moments to be had and cherished memories to be made. Some fade, some linger. What kind of memories will Roland and Curt and the people around them make with their little girl? (Titled after 'Without You I'm Nothing' by Placebo feat. David Bowie.)

Delilah has never had the best life. Her social anxiety and shyness make it hard for her to interact with people, especially in college, her self-esteem has become non-existent with the amount of people who have rejected her as a friend over the years and her constantly fighting parents are not making her motivated to do much of anything. It is only when a mysterious set of events send Delilah back in time to the year 1985, does she begin to acquire a different point of view on her life with the help of Roland and Curt.
