Emma Quinn could become an actress.
She's great at pretending.
No one sees through the facade.
She's invincible, growing thinner and weaker.
And nobody notices.
She's dying.
And no one knows, because her skill is comparable to Johnny Depp's.
Until Eli Evans, the boy who never notices and is in the spotlight, the boy who she least expects, rips down the silk curtains.
He teaches her the joys of baltering.

I offer in ragged breaths. "We could have just done this from the beginning," he replies, breathing heavily. We both chuckle. I gaze into his green eyes.
