Beneath the Urban Stars

Chiara's mistake was talking to him for the first time, Jasper's mistake was confessing the truth to her.
----------------------------------------------------------------

Chiara led a monotonous and uneventful life until she met the enigmatic Jasper on the bus. Something about his reserved demeanor and the far-off look that always adorned his face drew her in from the start. She wasn't sure if it was the scent of worn-out paper, the black nail polish on his nails, or the far-off look that always adorned his face, but one day she decided to stop settling for admiring him from afar.

But when he confessed the true reason he was there, both of their lives changed forever and they embarked on a mysterious journey that would change their lifes forever.
Is this just a dreamy romance, or are they trapped inside a nightmare?
