One heart is broken by love, another is broken by hate.
As they attempt to heal each other, Dylan and Olivia try to trust in love again.
Fragile wings bring them hope, trust and strength, and a bud of something rare, bursts into flower between them. As their blossoming relationship breaks down the barriers they've built around their feelings, a writer and a gardener nurture the seeds of their new life, and watch them grow together.
But each perfect garden has a snake in its midst. Coiled, venomous and ready to strike, he is watching from his hiding place. Skulking in the shadows, jealousy and hate overwhelm him as he watches what is rightfully his, stolen away by another.
It's now time to take Olivia back.

Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly.
