When Ryan meets Candace Parker, all of his walls slowly begin to crumble. Not sure of the truth of who she is, he feels his mind is playing tricks on him. Unable to force out the thoughts that consume him, Ryan is haunted by visions that torment him every time he looks at her.

Excerpt
I sit back on the couch and wonder about her, remembering what Jase told me the other day
before I saw how upset she was after talking with her mom.
“Her parents are assholes to her. They treat her like shit and she doesn’t deserve it.”
I wonder how she’s doing. I wonder how bad her parents really are. I wonder if they’re the
reason why she’s so closed off. I wonder why I’m wondering so much, but I can’t shake the fact that I
need to know. For some reason, it bothers me, and I can’t let it go.
I pull out my cell and go back and forth on whether or not I should take this jump. I don’t
know what I’m doing. I’ve never done this before. I’ve never wanted to. But now . . . Fuck it, I’m
jumping.
Punching out a text, I send it to Mark.
Can you send me Candace’s number?
