Colorblind

A Story Of Change And Heart.
~~~
"What's this? A journal? Diary?" He pried, his curiosity getting the best of him. Her face flushes a light shade of pink. "It's nothing!" She pauses, realizing her mistake, a huge mistake. The same one all her characters make in every book she has ever written. "I mean," she continues softer, almost whispering. "It's nothing of importance." A grin grew on his face just watching her. She was far too cute for her own good. "If you say so, I'll take your word for it." He replies, setting the little book back onto the shelf. Feeling a presence moving around behind him, he pivots his head. What he sees absolutely amazes him. Astonishing. There she was in the middle of her living room, hunched down, with a cat crawling down her back. Her gentle smile aimed up at him as she tries to remove the cat's claws from the fabric of her shirt. His heart melts. One smile and he is completely and utterly done for.
That was it. Kaplooey.

Adelyn Keyes, a 26-year-old aspiring author, trapped in a world of black-and-white. With no color perception she creates her own version of the world she lives in. Through books and her journalism she changes the way people think. She doesn't need color if she has words. But, did she really believe that? Wouldn't black-and-white get boring? Maybe a little bit of color is exactly what she needs.

Mark Evans, a local police officer, is completely happy with where his life is at. He has a job he enjoys, close friends, what else could he possibly need? A changing circumstance completely disregards that thought. Why was change so hard? Where did this girl even come from? Another planet? Is she what he was missing this whole time?

Is he what she was missing?
