One fated night, a muttered curse, a stolen glance. Their worlds, oil and water, are destined to collide. Can sunshine melt the frost around a killer's heart? Or will their tangled destinies ignite a storm that consumes them both?

Lily nodded, "I know, but I just want to go to school so I won't have to think too much, you know especially about the dream." She said, looking at him.
