Destruction, Denial and Devotion

Death is forever impending, the reason we are so afraid to live.

A Hale Story

It was the fall semester of her Sophomore year, and his second and last shot to get Senior year right.

Lauren Whither, a kind, young girl, was bound for failure. It was something that has been set in stone from the beginning, or like Markus, her crude and sinful uncle, likes to say, she is an omen.

As hard as she tries to make
something of herself by maintaining good grades, a job and a good reputation, she always seemed to mess up somewhere.

But Christmas break seems to turn things around. Her lab partner, Desmond Hale, who has yet to talk to her all year, decides to make himself known.

Follow Desmond and Lauren through their love story.
