Burke
I’m paid to watch people. To get into their lives.
I can read people in an instant. And I’m really good at my job.
But I watch her because I want to. Because I like to.
She’s a sweet girl, a beautiful girl.
But I’m content to admire her from afar.
Something about her fascinates.

And when I hear him ask her out.
I know that something is definitely not right. She’s in trouble.
And I know that I’m the only one who can do something about it.
To save this girl, I’m going to have to step outside my comfort zone. I’m going to have to
think, plan and do things I’ve never done before.
Do I have a choice?
I don’t know. One thing I doknow.
I will not let anything happen to her.
So, NO… no choice.

Brynn
My life is steady and consistent. There aren’t a lot of surprises.
And that’s okay.
I’ve got a career I’m passionate about in front of me and a lot to look forward to.
Love isn’t one of those things.
But that’s okay.
I can find fulfillment in other ways.
Like working in this coffee shop. But when an insistent stranger walks in one day, I find
myself thrust into a situation I never expected.
I am in danger.
I have no one to protect me.
And no idea how to escape.
My very life hangs in the balance.
Then I get help from an unexpected source.
And from that moment on, my life is anything but steady. And everything I thought I knew is
turned on its head.
I only know one thing.
I know nothing will ever be the same again.
