"My pleasure, Jacqueline." Jack whispered, barely breathing out the last part. But my sharp ears picked it up and I looked at him in surprise. How did he know my name? I haven't even introduced myself.

After getting kidnapped on that fateful day and being carted off to an experiment facility, Jacqueline finally escapes, with better understanding of her abilities and even more questions. Killing the men in her pursuit leads her to find a Man who offers her a home.
Will she accept trust again?

It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
