Will leaned one arm against the doorframe. That way Sofia was only a few centimetres away from him, the tips of her shoes not daring to cross the boundary between the landing and the flat. She looked at him intently with her head tilted back. "But how are you, Will?" "Better, now that you're here. Come in." His tone was urgent, impatient. He couldn't help himself. Since his parents died, William Hart had to give up everything in order to take care of his brother Michael. He has long stopped living, he only knows what it means to survive. Sofia Reed, on the other hand, has a family who loves her, a best friend who drags her through Boston's lively nights and an adopted little sister for whom she has never had much affection. Due to a university project, William and Sofia have to exchange letters without knowing anything about each other. Will, however, is uncooperative. What lies behind his silences? And who is Luke, the charming boy who often turns up in Sofia's shop to buy flowers? A story of love, sacrifice and passion, which encompasses all the colours and shades of the Universe.
