“… And the greatest of these is love.” Love is patient and kind… Its strength can build bridges and knock down walls. It can give people hope - a purpose. But there is a side to love that is unforgiving and cruel - a side to love that breaks hearts. Love can suffocate, and love can turn to hate. Billy Taylor meandered through life, only ever giving half.

When she connected with Billy’s eyes, that still haunted her dreams after so long, fear kicked in, and all she could do was the one thing she was sure would protect her… Run.
