Red Flag

'If I find myself missing you, I will remember the needing of you. And the silence that followed.'
- Eric Van Vuren

For eighteen year old Alexa Dart, life sure has been interesting. She's always been popular, and has long ago gained the affection of the local hunky idiot, Anthony Lore.

Enter bachelor-in-a-bind hero Melanie Waters and café barista boy, Chase Montoya. After successfully establishing her rights to show them around (being the hero and all), Mel takes them to the café where Chase is working. He's seen her now. And there's no going back.
