The rain had turned the pavement into a slick black mirror reflecting the funeral home’s grim silhouette, where seventeen-year-old Ronan Vance sat hunched on a bench, his tuxedo jacket hanging open and his face pale with grief.

Ronan’s breath caught, his heart slamming against his ribs as he stared at you, the girl he had just buried.
