At Tommen College, perfection is demanded. She is flawless, hiding a car crash’s guilt. Then comes Johnny Kavanagh. Rugby captain, 6’4, blue-eyed idol. She finds him not in the spotlight, but alone under a rain-soaked bridge, blood on his hands. He hides an injury, terrified of losing his identity in rugby. Drawn by grief and guilt, their worlds unravel. Truth has a price here. Some secrets break you. It’s late spring. Not at a party, but in the rain, under an old stone bridge. He is muscle and mystery, seeing too much. Rich, untouchable, yet just a hurting boy.
