The two meet in their freshmen year, with little in common but their social circles. Violet spends her days numb - hiding from the pain in any way she can. Rio runs from his. He's out from dawn to dusk, if not on the court, then scrounging up money for food or finding somewhere to sleep other than his car. What divides them most... is hope. Rio has it. Violet doesn't.Complete

Her daily life consists of dirty diapers, sleepless nights, and a part-time job that is sucking the life out of her. It isn't perfect, but it's her life. Ben and Katie Parker just moved back into town after spending years moving from state to state, while Ben was gaining experience and knowledge from some of the country's top chefs. Both ready to settle down and start living out their dreams of owning their own restaurant and starting a family. Neither one of them planned on a nineteen-year old and her daughter weaseling their way in and becoming a vital piece of their happiness. Is it love or is it just a crush? Violet doesn't know for sure, but one thing is certain. They make her feel important. Special. Whole. ***This is a story that contains a relationship between three people.
