A Black Hole Kiss

14 year old Gavin Hodges has been living for as long he can remember with a crush on his next door neighbor. Always there, but never attainable. No matter how hard he tried to reach, no matter how much she dragged him, he couldn't get to her.
The people in his small town have just learned the news. The planet Earth is being pulled away from the Sun, and the climate is getting colder. Animals are dying. And the humans will too, they will not survive forever. Now, Gavin has to make a choice.
Will he leave his feelings in the dust, willing to die without knowing, or will he risk dying with the knowledge she doesn't feel the same?
