It's easier, far less painful and often even temporarily effective, but it's not a long term solution.

Cara knew that and fully accepted the blunt truth behind that statement.
And yet, all she was able to do was run.
Run, run and run. As far away as she could, until breathing felt close to impossible.
But what if someone taught her how to fight instead of flight?
And what if they both found out that there's a third possibility that will forever change the trajectory of their lives?
