Most have come to see Oscar as wise, smart and funny- on the starlit hill top or through the sprawling streets of Paris.
But before he met Delilah, what if there were a time when....
Oscar Kennedy is unsure of himself.
Not that he lets it show.
After getting into just one more fight, he is forced into something much to the ire of his Father:
Art.
Oscar has better things to do with his time then being cooped up in a art studio but will that change?
On a journey Oscar between brushstrokes, dreams to starlit skies and the Seine, he will look for and discover answers for better or for worse.
This is Oscar's story.
~
A prequel of sorts to 'Dark Blue' and 'Light Blue', follow Oscars story before meeting Delilah and the journey after that fateful day in Paris. Can be read as a stand-a-lone but future parts in this book will only make sense after reading 'Dark Blue' and 'Light Blue' so it is highly recommend reading them first.

THIS WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT AT WRITING, READ AT OWN RISK! THERE ARE MANY ERRORS, AS MAJORITY OF IT IS UNEDITED. IF YOU WISH TO READ A MORE PUNCTUALLY AND GRAMMATICALLY CORRECTED BOOK CHECK OUT 'Caine's Love' Katy Rose is the name. Rejection is what her life consists of. Rejected by her family: dad, mum, cousin. Rejected by her pack. Rejected by her Mate: known as Alpha of the Blue Moon pack goes by the name Alex Stone. Rejected by her school peers.

Soon enough she realised that pack known as the Midnight Moon pack was her family. How does she react when she finds out a secret that could change her life?

At twenty years old, Clara has always lived a seemingly perfect life in her picturesque suburban town. With a loving family, a tight-knit group of friends, and a thriving career as a young artist, everything seems to fall perfectly into place. However, her world is turned upside down when her family suddenly faces financial ruin after her father's unexpected job loss. As they struggle to make ends meet, Clara is forced to put her dreams on hold, taking a mundane office job to help support her family. The vibrant colors of her art fade into the dull grays of corporate deadlines and tedious tasks. She finds herself surrounded by colleagues who are passionate about nothing she cares for, and her relationships with her friends begin to fray as they can't relate to the challenges she's now facing. Amidst this upheaval, Clara discovers a hidden talent for graphic design, igniting a flicker of hope within her. But this talent comes with a choice: to conform to the corporate world that stifles her creativity or to fight for the art she truly loves, risking everything to start fresh in a world that feels increasingly foreign. As she navigates the pressures of responsibility, the complexities of adult relationships, and the longing for her lost creative self, Clara must decide: Can she reclaim her passion and redefine her definition of success in a life that feels far from perfect? Will she risk it all to follow her heart, or will she succumb to the expectations of a life she never wanted? Authors note: Hey thank you so much for reading what this story is about!
