[SLOW BURN]

All you have ever known was the chaotic series of which was deemed as "your life" ever since you were born. And for the first time in that life, you decided to change that. To, for lack of a better term, escape that ghost of you from once before. For the past five years, your fiancé Michael has turned your relationship into an abusive one. Even high school sweethearts can falter into a never ending bitter tangent. That, coupled with your train wreck of a family has set you up to continue that path- but what would happen if you were to take the side road instead?

Jumping at the rare opportunity, you leave Maryland and move to Washington DC, where you meet Dr. Spencer Reid, a peer resident whose apartment is just below yours. As you settle in, your lives seem to coincidently intertwine. Will you ever finally open up to Spencer about what really brought you to DC? Or will your haunting past return to do the talking for you?
