Fingerprints

Joshua Grant is a twenty-three-year-old child. Well, at least in some ways. For example, he enjoys spending hours on end with his hands pressed against the glass door of his father's office at home, leaving cloudy marks behind him. He makes shapes and patterns with them and name each and every one of them, drawing and recording them down into a battered and used red notebook. He is loud and embarrassing such that even his parents don't take him out. He has no siblings and is seemingly alone.

London Rayne is an intelligent and - how do I put it - very confident twenty-year-old. She studies at the Imperial College, currently ranking at second-best on a global scale. The college, not her. She can get very irritable when she doesn't eat for while (and by that, I mean twenty minutes), but can be great company only if you know just how to talk to her. Which, of course no one does. Not that anyone would care to learn anyway.

Ethan Grey is noisy and a ball of energy and fun. He is striking, but not what girls his age of twenty-two years would call "hot". He has many friends, but most of them can't remember his last name or if it was him who topped the class in that algebra test Mrs Quartz gave last week. He spends a lot of his time lying on an inflatable water bed in his private pool, scrolling through his friends' feeds on social media and wondering why he is never invited to all the social events they seem to be going to.

And then their three different worlds collide and smash into each other.
