Carina's life is affected greatly if not negatively by her facial flaws, as nobody wants much to do with her. Yet, they say don't judge a book by its cover.

   In a world where physical appearances are highly revered she finds herself struggling to keep up with these preferences which gets worse when she decides to take a job in the city, the melting pot of cultures-much to her father's chagrin.

  A few new people in her life, a wicked twist of envy and deceit and that's all it takes for her world to start crumbling all around her.

  Can she weather the storms that threatens to drown her therein and will her faith be rekindled along the line or will she lose it entirely?

I wasn't hallucinating and it wasn't some kind of bad dream. It was 'the' Gabriel McGregor, that's who. I hadn't seen this guy in years and honestly, I thought that maybe just maybe when I saw him again, he'd be less intimidating and brutal but, I was too wrong. 


He had changed too just like Jared had, being taller than Jared was, at least by several inches but not as tall as Ro was. He looked toughened up from the last time I saw him. 


His thick brows knitted together, probably in confusion for the briefest of moments before his eyes regarded me perfunctorily. I shuffled nervously, under that scrutinizing gaze of his, waiting to just maybe be let in. 


Then he advanced out of the building, leaving the door to slam behind him as he sneezed intermittently, almost doubling over as he scrambled onto the curb. 


I watched him confusedly for some time on his procession before I clutched the burnished door knob and gained entrance into the house.
