Adagio
London, 1950s. Rose Kovachi wants nothing more than to forget. She wants to forget the war, the concentration camps, the mysterious violin her brother gave to her before he died. She wants to forget her poverty-stricken family, her Romani heritage. But most of all, she wants to forget her future and the expectations that come with it, including finding a respectable job or a husband to provide for her family. When she meets Ruben Faust, an upper-class German who recognizes her beloved Pedrazzini violin, Rose realizes he might be her ticket to escape. Despite her prejudices and her irritation with his nonchalant and snarky demeanor, she decides to follow him across Europe as they search for the violin's original owner. After all, it seems like the perfect opportunity to leave her own family and her pre-planned future behind. But as Rose is forced to confront her painful past, she begins to realize running away might not be so easy. She soon discovers that Ruben is in far more trouble than she ever thought and that her family is falling apart in her absence. Rose is determined to save them and get what she wants, for it seems the only way to forgive herself for failing to save her brother from the war. Yet Rose soon realizes that she can't have it both ways. But was scares her the most is the fear that nothing she does will ever be able to repair the past.Complete

She never wanted to go, she wanted to spend her last year of high school with her family before college but since it was what her mother wanted, she decided to go for it.

Because trust me, its as fucked as you could possibly think. But being strong, he dealt with it. He put on the show and dealt with shit behind the curtains, no matter how hard it was for him.

But he doesn't realise how much he actually needs Aurora. Way more than you think. Read along for a boarding school romance with lots of drama!Complete

One personal matter has kept her from realizing herself though: she has a secret she can't let anyone find out about... If someone does, Ambrosia fears what might happen to her.

What will happen now that her secret threatens to spill? Will her world be turned upside down? 'Destiny Awaits' is a story full of love, betrayal, and her search for true identity. Quotes: "Ambrosia strolled over to Callum's car, only to find him missing. Glancing around, she noticed he was nowhere in sight, but she could hear him shouting. Worried, Ambrosia ran as quickly as possible in his direction. Callum's voice increased in volume with every step until a growing crowd soon enveloped her. Ambrosia pushed through the mob; squeezing between the putrid bodies and eventually made her way to the front." "Suddenly, the noise of the door opening resounded throughout the bathroom. Ambrosia silently pulled her knees to her chest, hoping to become invisible." "As his golden brown hair blew in the wind, Rose noticed the picture perfect scene laid out before her. Behind him, a blend of merigold, rose, lilac, and lapis lazuli lit up the evening sky. His body bathed in a golden hue. On one side of the horizon lay the dying sun while the other bared the porcelain moon. Hidden in the lapis, faint stars could be seen."Complete
