Synopsis
I watched him in high school. Knew his reputation. Knew he was wealthy, privileged, and mean.
He ran the show back then, a partier and a player.
Then he came back from college, back to the town I never left. He’s different now.
He comes into the bar, and I know his routine.
I know which stool he’ll pick.
I know his favorite drink. I know which sports team he’ll want on the television screen.
And I watch as he gets hit on.
Sometimes he leaves the bar with a woman. Sometimes he doesn’t.
But I’m always there, tending to his drinks. He gives me a smile and a polite nod back.
Then one night, after a long appraising stare, he asked, “Ava, why are you single?”
I leaned in, told him a lie, knowing the truth.
What I didn’t know was that my world was about to shatter after that night.
Something else I didn’t know: would the man I watched all those years help put my heart back together... or smash it into pieces?
** A 42k novella written as a standalone from two characters in the Fallen Crest/Roussou universe.

My Review
'🅰🆅🅴🅺🅴'
Is a large Novella by Tijan, spoken in 'dual perspectives. Ava & Zeke
This took me no time at all to read, an opposites attract quick read, it didn’t take long for Zeke to claim my heart, and Ava is so easy to connect with.
I loved all things dandelion, to the similarities to their characters to the dandelion necklace which has definitely made me purchase one!
Even though this was a quick read it delivered so many feels!
But being greedy I just wanted more..It’s also made me want to go back and do a re-read of the fallen crest high series, back to where it all started, back to when I truly came under this authors spell.
