The cliché college love story:
The IT boy of campus. The quiet girl in the back row.
She falls first, he falls harder. He asks her out, she says yes-
and the readers squeal in joy.
That's how it's supposed to go. Right?

Not this time.

What if trust gets in the way?
What if the past has claws?
What if loyalty doesn't last, and "ever after" is a longer stretch than anyone's ready for?

Because real life doesn't always give you a happy ending.
