All it takes is one monster for the world to go to ruins.
Life as Nadine knows it goes to shit and she has to accustom herself to life underground, that is until an accident forces her out into the real world.

Caine has no idea why he saved Nadine.
She is everything he hates- rich, spoiled and entitled- and yet, he couldn't just let her die.
Living outside is hard enough without having to save someone else and yet, he does it with Nadine.

Thrust into a world that she has no idea how to navigate, Nadine is forced to rely on Caine.
Her life is literally in his hands.
They soon realize that maybe the monsters are the least of their worries.

Love Among The Ruins

It took far longer than usual for Nadine to fall asleep.

She didn't care that I was covered in blood and grime, she would not let me go. She stayed curled up in my lap until her eyes finally drifted close. Even then, I was wary of letting her go for fear that she would wake up. I just stayed there watching her until I was sure that she wouldn't rouse.

The first thing I did was find somewhere I could get cleaned. My clothes weren't salvageable, but I managed to find a rag that I used in scrubbing myself clean- or at least, as close to clean as I could get.

It would bite me in the ass later, but there were more important things at stake right now.

As I opened the door to the office, Jennifer turned to look at me.

"Is he awake?" I asked softly and she shook her head.
