Chapter 1: Prophesied

Secrets, as old people say, are hidden for a reason, but Calissa is not interested in old maxims and adages. Her mission is clear. She needs to put an end to her curiosity before everything is over. After 13 years of living away from her hometown, she is back to uncover the secrets of her foreboding next-door neighbor, especially since it might be the last vacation she'll ever have for the rest of her life.

A dying girl, an unexplained past, and a mysteriously attractive neighbor.
Will love surface from tragedy, or will it get murkier from here?
