It's impossible, right? For Benedict Cumberbatch to find me in this situation? Of all people, he chose to help me.
I'm not special, I've been raised my whole life with that being said.
But then, how do you explain this?
***
Emerald is 19, and she's been abused all her life. She can't move out, she can't afford it, so she stays in an abusive household.
But, one day, her mother goes too far. She practically kills Emerald, leaving her to die in an alley.
Just when Emerald is about to give up and accept death, she's rescued. But not by just anyone, but by Benedict Cumberbatch.
He takes her in, he wants to help her. But will their relationship turn into more than just friends?
~In between birth and death, life is filled with moments of love and heartache, joy and pain, and so much more.~ Moving to England changed Riley's life, more specifically meeting HIM changed her life. From the moment they first met there was something special, but moments in life are simply that- moments.
"Enjoy the moment and appreciate what you have" (Marisa Miller) because you never know if or when it will slip away.
I suck at descriptions but basically Riley moves to England, meets Tom, and then goes through a bunch of stuff (moments) with him (school, friends, relationships, etc etc.) BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE... you'll just have to stick with the story to find out what it is 👀. Stay tuned if you wanna find out what's in store for Riley and Tom.
