Bianca Fonte works hard for everything she has. She is known for her work ethic, determination, independence, and her straightforward boldness, as a teen and as an adult. She met who she thought was her soulmate, Collin Black, in her sophomore year of high school. However, after graduation, Collin tells her their love was a lie. When their paths cross after three years, can she really believe their love was one-sided? After all, their love feels like an addiction, a need for more. He took her ability to love, does he still have it? Can he give it back?

"I love us, you and me," He claimed.
"You and me?" I question.
"Me and you...always."
"Always?" I smile.
"Mhm."
I just wish it was forever.
