Cassie was a simple, usual girl from a smallish town. Her love of books leads her to a new life in a new place. Meeting Lincoln is the first exciting thing to happen in Burien, WA, but it won't be the last. Will their love grow from their first meet or will the pain of her past and possibility of his future corrupt a love that true and bright? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I barge through the swinging kitchen door. Furry radiating from my pores. A year. We've been together almost a year and this secret had been between us. How could he- How didn't i realize? There were no signs, but I never knew I needed to look for them. This will likely be the end of us and by the look on his face, he knows it. But what will tare us apart? my secret, his, or us?
