A distressed soul and a carefree heart meet one winter to come together and forget their sorrows.

Kristina and Zen aren't supposed to be together. The path to her self-construction is rocky, and forgetting his feelings for someone he can't be with is difficult. She's too lost in her grief, and he's too busy trying not to ruin friendships. With the reason for their hurt following them everywhere, they don't find each other someone worth more than a distraction. Yet whenever there's a sign of distress, each other's presence is all they seek.

One sinking pansy. Two heartbroken souls. Three attempts at love.
