"Whatever you say, old man. Though in all seriousness, you are a great leader, Eden. In dance and in occupation. I'm sure one day you will make someone very happy." Jade says confidently as Eden suddenly dips her once more, resting a strong hand on her back to keep her steady as she looks up and meets his eyes.

"Then why not let me make you happy?" Eden asks as Jade bites down on her lip, noting how Eden's eyes seem to stare deeply into her soul. Before Jade could answer, Eden brought her back upright just as the music finished. The two exchange a bow and curtsey before stepping away from the dance floor allowing space for the new dancers to approach the floor. Despite only having participated in one dance, Jade already feels tension beginning to rise not only in her neck but in her friendship as well.
***
Jade, the lady-in-waiting to the Queen of Aria, has grown up working in the palace since she was seven with her best friends Prince Amos Diyasha and guard-in-training Eden for the past ten years. However, when the peaceful kingdom of Aria undergoes a three-year war, the trio is split up for an undetermined time. After five years of being apart, the three friends reunite, but the changes caused in all three due to the war result in their friendship being tested. 

With Amos becoming a strong believer in Christ and Eden taking a completely contrary turn, Jade finds herself confronting the awakening feelings she has for both men. In a journey to discover who she is and what she wants for her future, Jade gets thrown into a series of chaotic events which help her to discover the true desires of her heart, become vulnerable to her faith and awaken her true purpose in life.

"If you asked me three months ago what heartbreak was, I would tell you it's losing somebody close to you due to unspeakable circumstances. But right now, in this moment, I would say it's you. I would say it's the feeling I got in my chest when I realized I was out of time. When I stood in the rain and yelled for you to stay, but all I saw was your back. I would say heartbreak is lying in bed at two in the morning, watching my ceiling fan go around and around, wondering why you couldn't stop to listen. Two seconds. All I needed was two seconds to say the words. All I needed was to seconds for me to tell you I was in love with you. With everything about you.
