I look around the café. The emptiness of it fills me up, as a suppressed excitement building up inside me.
As the first customers enter, I feel the café come to life. It shines a little brighter, smells a bit more of coffee, and my smile turns into a natural 'This is exactly where I'm supposed to be, this is where I belong'-smile.
Elliot Jensen and Elliot Fintry have a lot in common. They share the same name, the same house, the same school, oh and they hate each other but, as they will quickly learn, there is a fine line between love and hate.
