Evelyn Melgren is a CEO, living in Seattle with her lovable dog. She spends most of her days at her workplace, trying to make her company reach the corners of the city. 

One evening she meets the person from her past who owns a whole book in her library of memories. The person she'd tried to let go of, but couldn't. The person she loved with her whole being, and then lost herself for. 

Warren Archer is the CEO of a multi-million dollar empire. The guy who's been battling the memories that are in the shape of the girl he's loved since high school. The girl he never wanted to hurt, but ended up doing that. The girl he's loved with every corner of his heart. 

Ten years later when Evelyn and Warren cross paths. The universe plays with their heart strings, and the feelings that have died begin to resurrect. The dead love in one's heart starts to kindle due to the blazing heart of the other. 

A series of circumstances set in, and they get to have a second-chance at their story.

SOAR WITH ME

/"Evelyn.../" I start but she cuts me off like every other time I've tried to start this one specific conversation. It's as if she knows what I'm about to say, and fights with everything inside her to not hear it.

I don't blame her for protecting herself. Last time things got beyond messy. They got to the point of breaking each other's hearts and tainting souls in a way they'd be marked forever with the damage.

And it was all my doing; all my fault. A burden of a thousand pounds that I carry with me every day.

/"Warren, I'm not going with you./" Her facial expressions contort into mild fierceness.

/"I thought you'd like to go. It's a charity event for orphans./" Evelyn stares at me with a softness that I'm glad to witness.

Compassion has always been her biggest strength. One that makes me fall in love with her even more.

/"Orphans?/" Her sweet voice is thick with empathy.
