The story behind my short story of the same name. Elliott is an ex-marine and is currently living off his boxing "career". Erica is a lawyer-to-be struggling through law school and a recent breakup with her high school boyfriend. One night her friend convinces her to go to a match and by chance or by fate their paths cross. It's hardly love at first sight but the two make something of nothing. Life and love doesn't come easy and they both experience lose and pain, from the world and each other.
