Toby Eathon had a simple plan for his first day of university: keep his head down, stay invisible, and hit the reset button on his quiet, predictable life.
That changed the moment he met Elly Gormeo, a philosophy major with cat ears who pulled him from the safety of a taxi into a breathless run through city traffic.
She was everything he wasn't: loud, impulsive, and unapologetically alive. But beneath Elly's bright, chaotic energy lay a secret she never spoke of.
As Toby was drawn deeper into her world, he realized he was navigating more than just a budding romance. He was uncovering a past that still haunted her, and he had to decide how close he could get to her.
And if he did, what would it cost him?

The Search for Serenity
When Alice, a girl who seeks out the beauty in everything around her, a photographer who looks for the peace in her surroundings that she can't seem to find in her mind, crosses paths with Toby Green, a boy who sees his suffering in every direction he looks in-- an artist that lets his pain flow through his veins, down through his fingers, and into his drawings-- she notices a light within him that he cannot see for himself. Her warm nature tempts his frozen exterior to melt, revealing a boy who hides from the cruel world. From the moment fate works its magic and the two strangers' eyes meet, they will forever change each other's lives. Whether it's for the good or the bad, it's up to them to decide. Will Toby's darkness snuff out Alice's light? Or will Alice catch sight of the beauty in Toby and open his eyes to look at himself and life through a different lens? Perhaps we all need somebody to fill our journey with sparkling smiles, kindness, friendship, and even love. Our journey to find serenity.
