"You're special, Jess," he said, his British accent made my toes curl.

Jess? I blinked. He called me Jess. He's never called me Jess before, only Jessica.

He continued, "You're beautiful, you're intelligent, you're incredibly interesting, and you're definitely girlfriend material-I however am not boyfriend material."

I looked into his deep blue eyes and said, "I know you're not boyfriend material, but I don't care about that. I like you, Garrett, and I want to spend some time with you."

"Jessica," he said. "I don't want you to get hurt, especially by me."

Twenty-year-old Jess (Jessica) Newborn is prepared to leave her grief-stricken past behind and give herself a fresh start, but that's all about to change when she meets Garrett Simmons on her first day at Seattle Pacific University.

What is going on with him? I did not know what to say... yes... no...? "Answer me!!" his grasp tightened, forcing me to say something. "Brent please..." my eyes filled up with tears, but still holding it back. He abruptly let off and turned around, leaving me near the cliff. I felt my tears running down my cheeks. I couldn't stand anymore and just sat there looking at the waves which were hitting the cliff. He never was acting like that towards me, being strange, but why now? What changed him?
