Alone.One stormy night that all changes when she walks in the door.Ellery McIlroy is special. I knew it from the first time I met her. Looking into her eyes I saw endless possibilities and felt an immediate need to know her. To see what was beneath the hard-working, people pleasing façade she wears like a cloak. Her life is at a crossroads in much the same way mine is and I'm all too willing to help her find the answers. Whether or not we like it, here life comes.
