"I want them to know I was alive. I want them to know I was here." 
                                               ---
Quentin Clear is wayward. Barely able to hold down a job, money drying up faster than he's able to make it, he is also desperate. With his rent 2 months late and the threat of homelessness looming ever closer, what will he do to remain afloat? 

Sara Clear is sure. Sure that this, her life, is perfect. Complete. The perfect job, the perfect home, and now, the perfect fiancée. The only wrinkle in this glimmering scene is her brother. Insubordinate, reckless, emotional, he is everything that she isn't. And that's why she'd do anything for him.All Rights Reserved
