Life is more than just breathing. Kylee doesn't expect to be happy. She just wants to feel some kind of purpose to her existence. Most days, she doesn't even know why she's alive. She doesn't expect to meet Price. And she certainly doesn't expect her entire life to change by just one touch. He shows her more than how to live. He shows her how to love.

It was his mother who died, but Price feels like it was him. Everything he used to enjoy - baseball, comics, even girls - seems petty and pointless now. He wants nothing more than to forget his old life and start over somewhere new, where no one knows him and no one expects anything from him. So when his dad decides to move them to the country, he welcomes the change, even if it means cows and dirt roads and crazy neighbors.
