❝ Will you stay? ❞
❝ Always. ❞
Cassandra Holmes is empty. Hollowed from the inside out when the last of her was destroyed. She is lost; drifting in and out of reality with no real grasp on her sanity. When reading is presented to her as a form of therapy, she doesn't think twice before picking up a book. Though in her heart, she doesn't quite believe that it would work.
But then she finds love between the words. Elliot Cartwright is the definition of perfection, and she is falling hopelessly in love with him. He heals her broken heart with his own, but she can never reach for his.
Falling in love is natural when a heart fills you up after yours have been empty for too long, but what if the hand you're trying so desperately to hold only exists in your head?
