He had loved her from the moment they met, but nothing could have prepared him for what he found. Blood. A fading pulse. A girl who had given up. But was he too late? As he picks up the broken pieces of the girl he's always wanted, she begins to heal. Slowly, she starts to feel again. But is it love-or just the desperate need to hold on to the only one who stayed?
