Nothing in life is constant.
Lela Tanner knows that better than anyone. Her best friend, the love of her life, is gone.She'd never see his dimpled smile again or hear his quirky laugh again.
She'd never hear him say, "I love you" to her again.
Losing such a big part of yourself would make anyone shut off the world and lock themselves in.
She owes it to Jace to not to do that to herself or her parents, or his.
With his last words reverberating inside her, she decides not to be careful for once, to not spend hours planning something before finally doing it. Broken, shattered, teetering on the edge of uncertainty, she asks her parents for one year, one year to get her feet back on solid ground, one year and she'd be back, or maybe not...
But maybe this newfound recklessness might prove to be too much for her.
After all, she assumed nothing could be worse than losing someone the way she did.
But apparently, life hadn't had enough of tearing her world apart.All Rights Reserved
