In Translation ✦ John Logan

"You're not supposed to be here."

"I know."

"This is the part where you leave."

"Is it?"

"Yes."

"...Make me."

In which Dylan Carter is everything Briar University thinks they understand.

Perfect grades. Perfect boyfriend. Perfect smile.
The girl who holds everyone together without ever looking like she's falling apart.

Except perfection has always been a very convincing translation.

Because when the campus goes quiet and the lights go out, Dylan stops being what people expect her to be.

And she goes to the one place no one is supposed to see her.

The ice rink.

In which John Logan has spent years becoming exactly what people assume he is.

A hockey player. A frat guy. A boy with nothing too complicated beneath the surface.

It works-until it doesn't.

Because the longer he looks at Dylan Carter, the more he realizes she doesn't fit into anything he knows how to ignore.

Especially when she's already with someone else.

Especially when he starts noticing her in ways that feel impossible to take back.

In which love is not instant.

It is inconvenient. Slow. Unwanted. Inevitable.

And sometimes, the hardest person to understand...
is the one who never lets anyone see who they really are.

"Some stories begin with love. This one begins with two people pretending they're perfectly fine."
