The Art of Appearing Invisible

Evangeline is broken. It's hard for her to feel, to breathe, let alone live her life. She's drowned in a secret she didn't know she kept, a web of lies she didn't know she conjured.
Aleck is numb. He passes through life without a second glance, events happening in a scary sequence. His hard shell masks the pain But upon meeting Evangeline, he watches a his shell cracks, peice by piece.
