A Lifetime's Worth

"I loved against reason,
against promise, against peace,
against hope, against happiness,
against all discouragement there could be."
- Great Expectations

Ariana Vermont was living a normal life. A normal life in the peaceful little town of Riversdale. She had everything a girl her age could probably want. But the expected is just the beginning. The unexpected is what changes our lives. She finds love not once, but twice. A love that changes everything around her, everything that she has ever wanted and everything that she has ever believed in. A love that made her believe in love. A love that she believes will last a lifetime.
