Two hearts beating in unison. Will they eventually come across one another? Or will destiny lead them in a different direction? Rebecca didn't anticipate that the world would open up to her when her family relocated to Santoria due to her heart problem. Her desire to travel the world would come true. Thanks to the boy with the dimples next door. But will it come at a cost?
PROLOGUE
As he went home from school, Alden observed the two moving trucks parked in front of the house across that had been for sale for three months. Currently, the property, which had been left by the previous owners who moved overseas, was bustling with activity as physically fit men lugged box after box inside. He paused for a moment, wondering who the new owners were, but the movers were the only people outside. Just as he was ready to leave for home, a girl in a wheelchair emerged through the front entrance. Her long hair was pinned back to show off her lovely face, but the oxygen hose on her nose warped her appearance. She was around thirteen years old. She had a yellow teddy bear in her arms. An older man, most likely her father, stood behind her. "Would you be fine here while we fix the house?" He said something that Alden heard. The girl grinned as she looked up. "Yes, Dad," she replied. I can read the book I have here. I'll be alright, so don't worry about me." Before going back inside, her father gave her a head kiss. For a few more seconds, the girl kept her face focused on the door where her father vanished, and then she picked up the book that was stuck to the chair's side. She pulled it open and began to read. Alden turned to go home, but the girl's eyes met his as he looked up. Alden had never seen brown eyes as expressive as hers. Her eyes reveal a new type of fortitude within her, even with the oxygen tubing wrapped around her nose. For a moment, he was enthralled, but then the girl turned back to her book. As though awakened from a trance, Alden blinked again. After giving a small shake of his head, he turned back to face his own home. Rebecca, the girl, looked up again when Alden turned to go home. Her new neighbor piqued her interest. Even with his spectacles on, he looked adorable. He appeared to be around sixteen. The child became interested in the new occupants of this house, which must have been deserted for a long time. Rebecca hoped he would be curious enough to come talk to her. Being alone all the time with only books to keep you company seemed incredibly lonely. Especially in a new community, one companion would ease her ordeal. She hoped it was the boy who lived next door. He appeared to be a decent man. Rebecca let out a sigh. "That's what happens when you read too much," she thought, "you start believing in fairy tales." With another sigh, she returned to her book and began reading. She had no idea that her wish would soon come true.
