"What if I am already broken into pieces?"
She hates to be touched, hiding under her oversized shirts and behind her wild frizzy hair. Even her bubbly roommate can't reach her. And yet ...
"I'm the guy who knows how you can hurt so much that your insides feel like they're cut and bleeding."
The tall, handsome, and tattooed TA in her psychology class changes everything when he literally collides with her and confronts her. For the first time in a long time, she wants to try and open up to this guy whose dark, intense eyes can't hide his own pain despite his dazzling smile getting to her.
However, just when she's starting to live again, her ex-boyfriend comes back, breaking her time and time again, making it all the more complicated.
She wants to fight for herself and for this building thing with the TA, even when he pushes her away, but can two broken people patch each other up?
"I never thought colliding with someone could change lives, but it is possible."

slowly. Long, muscled legs in beat up dark blue jeans, an old black
leather jacket open over a dark grey V-neck sweater that showcases an
impressive tall body
with broad shoulders and finally, longish and messy black hair, perfect
straight nose, full lips, high cheekbones and expressive soft dark eyes
that lock with my bluish-greyish ones. He looks older with his goatee
perfectly trimmed. A perfect hot mess many girls would say. I’m just
intimidated by this stranger, though.
“I’m
fine,” I reply, my voice even. I push away some of my untamed locks and
curse my auburn frizzy hair that is always all over the place.
