The old phrase "boys will be boys" didn’t work here. We were young and dumb and oblivious to the beings who shared the world with us. We should have been smarter, but we weren't.

A prank gone wrong now has me and my twin living our life as one. Never to be human at the same time, our curse for our cruelty. The only person who knows what we are now is our younger brother.

One person can break the curse. One who can love us despite our flaws. But it’s been years and she still hasn’t made her presence known. Our hope is fading, and we have resigned ourselves to living this way the rest of our lives.

A chance encounter on a deserted road brings us our first glimpse of hope and a love we never expected. Will it be enough to lift the curse and return our lives to us? Will she want us when she finds out what we are?

What we didn’t know was that she had her own flaw, her own story. Could we look past it and open our hearts to her?
