To Peyton, everything else is a bunch of puzzle pieces scattered around and missing from the picture; that is to say he doesn't understand anything. He doesn't understand why he fell for James, who is in love with a girl, or why, no matter how hard he tries, he can't love anyone else. But as Peyton grows closer to James, he learns that James has his own secrets and Peyton is determined to break down his walls.
