Lost in Chicago, cold and numb, Kel sits at a bar with her self-pity. She replays the last 16 hours in her head over and over again and thinks, why me? All she really wants right now is for someone to find her. Anybody. And as fate has it, her wish comes true. Even if it isn't ideal or expected.
Brandon knows Chicago like the back of his hand. It's his city. It's where he can be himself, even if he has turned into something like a jackass. But that isn't entirely his fault.
Perhaps they can look past each other's broken life? And just maybe, they can heal each other...
