Everyone's a stranger. To the passers-by, their coworkers, people close, and people far away. Even to themselves, and Evaline was no different. Until the morning she went against everything she had ever known, witnessed, and believed; until she met Ren, and held the first conversation of her life. Evaline knows she should forget her. But she's never talked this much before, and there's no going back now. Perhaps that's why she accepted the invitation to see Ren's 'home' - a foreign word - and by leaving the City, she leaves behind anything she's ever known, trading it for a chance to change her gray world forever.
