Do you ever really know the person you're dating? LENNON I lived, but I'm not really living. The world knows me as the girl on the front page of every newspaper-a photo taken after I survived something you only see in horror films. What they don't realize is that no matter how much time passes, I'm still in that room, stifling my screams, wondering if he's going to hurt me next. I walk through the world trapped in the dark, afraid of everything and everyone, even my own body. But the series of events that led up to that night might be the darkest thing of all. And the secret no one knows, the one that haunts me, is that it's all my fault. So, I plaster on a fake smile and deal with the harsh judgments and intrusive questions, while I wonder why I survived the worst night of my life only to end up surrounded by people, yet completely alone. Can you ever really escape your past? DANIEL Eight long years. I've seen it all-the crying, nightmares, self-loathing, and aching sadness. There is nowhere Lennon could go that I wouldn't find her, watch her, or take care of her. She is the most important person in my life. She just doesn't know it. And I intend to keep it that way, because I'm responsible for the worst thing that ever happened to her. To make amends, I had to become someone new, even if that meant becoming worse than what hurt her. So, I work tirelessly behind the scenes, curating a world where she's safe and has what she needs, even if that means I don't have her. That is, until one night, a collision changes everything.
