Prologue

All this has happened before, and it will all happen again; but this time it happened on a quiet street in Kensington, New York, and Peter chose this specific house because there was someone there who really believed in him.

Weeks away from leaving for college, Clara has finally determined to put away childish things like Peter Pan and Neverland. Far too little time has been spent in preparation for her future, and it is past time for her to grow up and take her place in the world, or at least that is what everyone else says.

Clara doesn't want to grow up, but to hold onto her belief would mean losing everything and everyone she's ever known.
