MAYA, a girl who goes through life with an unwavering smile-around other people that is. While juggling four jobs to support her father and a side hobby of modelling, Maya is rarely at home-to her content. Even through the mental and physical turmoil, the brunette fights past it all with a smile and positive attitude.
KILLIAN, a man driven by one purpose. Money. The best hitman with most accurate shot in all of New York. Charm and pleasantries are strangers to him, residing outside the realm of his vocabulary.
But what happens when he runs into one of the waitresses at his club and spills a drink on her?
What happens when he receives a hit on, said waitress?
Will he go through with it and kill the annoying girl that's been plaguing his mind?

"Why are you smiling all the fucking time?"
"Because why would I frown and make someone's day worse, when I can smile and possibly make it better?" She looks up at me with her big eyes. Her eyebrows furrowing like she's deep in thought. "Why are you always frowning?"
I shrug, pulling her closer by her hips, "Because why would I smile and have people think they should come up and talk to me, when I can frown and silently tell them to fuck off?" Only her. I think, she's the only one I want to come up and talk to me.

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash."

I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before."
I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried."
"So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes.
"What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead.
"You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side.
This time it sounded more like a statement than a question.
"I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life."
