"D-do you think talent only comes from trauma?" Julie asked tentatively. She, again, brushed the invisible hair from her face. Obviously, she was beginning to fear everything I have to say. I stood and made my way to an old photo of us, one Julie hadn't noticed quite yet. I studied the photo carefully before I responded to her. "No, Julie. I think that talent lies in all the layers of a heart a person is willing to expose." At this, Julie gave me a bewildered look. She grabbed her recorder from the table and clicked it off. It was my turn to be surprised. "Have I scared you off, Julie?" I asked in genuine concern. After all, I have a promise to uphold. She looked at his words on the wall before responding. "No, no, I'm just nearly out of battery and want to do this story justice." She replied with only a little reluctance in her eyes. "Tomorrow, then." I didn't ask. She nodded in agreement and, as suddenly as she was here, she was gone. Pointing my attention back to his photo, I sighed. "Only for you, handsome. The words are only for you." In this novel, M. Darling exposes the underbelly of the creative romantic. Questions of love and loss, trauma and truth are explored through the weathered eyes of the woman that lived them and the man that left her to finish the job. Sometimes, love can be as sweet as honey.

"What do you want?" I snap, slamming my locker shut. His casual smirk, messy dark hair, tan skin, strong arms, eerie storm-grey eyes... the list could go on of things I notice- that I shouldn't notice- about him. "Oh, I want a lot of things." He inspects a speck of dirt on his arm. "I'm sure you've heard the news?" His eyes flicker back up to meet mine. Does he know? No. He can't. So I roll my eyes. He can't know that I know, that I would do anything to be the first one he tells. "You'll have to be more specific." I mutter, trying to look casual as I inspect my nails. "Well, it involves a certain title of the swim team," He offers. I shrug. "So you got captain. That's cool. And what do I have to do with that?" He narrows his eyes, trying to read my expression. Unfortunately for him, I have mastered the art of hiding my emotions. "This is what I wanted to talk to you about. During English," He fiddles with his sweater sleeve. "I recall you trying to talk to me," I frown. "Well, I..." He swallows, seeming... nervous? "I'm not doing too great... subject wise. And if I don't pick up my ass soon, I might be forced to quit." He rubbed the back of his neck, making his shirtsleeve slide up his arm to reveal a strong bicep. Not that I notice. I narrow my eyes. "And what do I get back in return?" I cross my arms. I'm going to be late for the bus if we don't hurry. He studies my face. "Name your price." He mirrored my position. I sigh. Money... but I don't need it. Popularity... but I don't want it. I meet his gaze steadily. He lifts his chin, the tiniest bit, but it doesn't intimidate me. I square my shoulders and stand up straight. He's only just taller than me.
