Chapter One

Falling in love cost him. After the death of his girlfriend and first love, Ivy, Chase struggles through his grief with the support of his friends and sister, but it feels insufficient. He continues to see Ivy in everything, from his friend group to his behavior to his memories. Her effect lingers, and he cannot forget her, but things are not always what they seem. Chase fears falling deeper into the truth about his former girlfriend, but he must take the leap downwards into darkness before he can find his light. Then he meets Leliana-the opposite of Ivy. Bright, warm, and confident. With her, Chase's life begins to fall into place. He can only hope that she will want to fall with him.
