They say some people aren't meant to be together. That Graham and I were too different to ever make any sense. I was driven by emotion; he kept his walls high. I dreamed of a brighter future; he passed his days in nightmares. Despite all that, we sometimes shared seconds. Seconds when our eyes locked and we saw each other's secrets. Seconds when his lips tasted my fears, and I breathed in his pain. Seconds when we both imagined what it would be like to love one another. But Graham Russell wasn't a man who knew how to love, and I wasn't a woman who knew how to stay. Yet if I had the chance to fall again, I'd fall with him forever. Even if we were always destined to crash against solid ground.

Vanessa Clark, a second-year college student, has a visceral love of books and rain and an unbreakable bond with her best friends. Marked by her parents' difficult divorce, she found comfort in Travis, apparently the good guy that all mothers – including hers – would like next to their daughter. With Travis, Vanessa hopes to be able to build a happiness that she has been missing for too long now. After two years, however, even that love seems to have cracked, and only rubble remains in Vanessa's heart. At least until, in class, she meets new classmate Thomas Collins for the first time.
