"Everyone could use a little bit of hope, don't you think?"
Scarlett Jones and Elijah Williams are two people who couldn't be any more different, but at the same time are alike in ways unbeknownst to them.
Fate brought them together, as Scarlett likes to think, and Elijah hopes his indifferent attitude will keep her away but Scarlett has other plans. She's not one to just give up that easy as Elijah comes to learn.
She's persistent and smiles so often he thinks it's annoying but unwillingly he can't keep up his rough exterior around her.
What's even scarier is that he begins to believe again, to have hope, and maybe even smile for the first time in two years.
And it's all because of her.
