[Excerpt: Chapter 1]
"Noah, I know that you have been going through something and you don't want to talk about it but you need to start talking to someone," she says, leaning towards me and resting her elbows on her knees. "I can help you deal with it in different ways. Safer ways, Noah."
I scoff quietly but don't say a word in response. Of course the shrink would say that. Of course she knows a safer way to handle it. So do I. I don't need to be a shrink for that. I didn't start taking drugs because I thought it was safe. I'm not an idiot. I take drugs because I want to get away from this life at least for a while. Because I want out of this picture perfect, fake little world that I've been born into. Talking about it isn't going to help me do that. Therapy isn't going to help me do that.

"You can't keep going around like a fucking maniac and treating me like shit. That isn't how relationships work," Sophia's voice was havoc as she verbalized her emotions.
"That isn't how we work..."
Tired, vulnerable and agitated at not only him, but herself.
How could she let herself get this far, in such little time?
He looked down, ashamed, not wanting to respond. His heart felt like it was beating faster than it should've.
"I forgot how it felt to love you."
As soon as those words were uttered from Sophia's lips, his world broke apart.
Gone, in just a matter of seconds.

When Sophia Adam moves to a new town, she wishes nothing more than a boring, new life, to separate herself from her past.
Moving meant completing university and getting a clerkship with a judge. Moving meant making refreshing new friends, and meeting a mysterious guy that seems hell-bent on getting to know her.
To Sophia, moving to a new town was everything she imagined and more. She just didn't expect her past to follow.
