It had been years since Elsie Collins had been kidnapped at a hockey game. In fact it had been exactly 12 years, 58 days, 14 hours, and 34 minutes, since Nick Collins had seen his little sister. In those 12 years, he graduated high school, got engaged, broke off the engagement, became a soldier, and then became a cop because in the back of his mind, he thought there was still a chance Elsie was out there and he wanted to find her. During what seems like a routine shift, Nick and fellow officer Andy McNally answer a call, where a teenage girl and who seems to be her father are yelling at each other, there's just one problem. Nick swears the girl was Elsie. This story will explore the ensuing drama, and the bonding of siblings. But, mainly, bringing a little girl home, for the first time in 12 years, 58 days, 14 hours, and 36 minutes.
All is well in Patty's life until her best friend goes missing. No note. No texts, just got up and was gone the next day.
People say she ran off with some guy, or was hiding because she was pregnant with notorious bad boy, that Patty never seemed to like, Jasper Mckinley's child.
Some say, she's dead.
Patty denies all of it. She knew Jasmine like the back of her hand and she was convinced she did not run away or fell in a ditch somewhere.
A year has passed. But she never stopped believing her best friend was still alive.
So what happens when a stranger suddenly sends her flowers with notes about things only Jasmine and her would know? And she finds herself asking for help from the very guy she suspects?
Everything starts to become a game.
For every flower delivered to her doorstep, the chances of finding her best friend alive, decreases.
