Grief makes people do stupid things. Like fall for the boy who watched you break on the school roof. ~•~•~ When Persephone Adeola meets the new transfer student, Aren Naoki Toussaint, she fixates on him instantly.

For the first time since the accident, she can breathe. What she doesn't know is Aren is carrying his own grief - the kind that doesn't get spoken about. The kind that keeps its distance. And the closer Sephy gets, the more the truth behind his silence begins to surface-one that threatens to break what they are together. As obsession blurs into something real, Sephy must confront the pain she's been running from, and Aren must decide whether to let her in-or lose her to the truth he cannot face.
