"I had always thought of pain as something impersonal and neutral. I could never have imagined it could take on so many forms, and especially not that you could be one of them. But you slipped through my dreams like sand between my fingers, disappearing a little more every moment. I had a little less of you. Like a dying man who slowly bleeds out, you were dripping from my body and I had no way of keeping you with me." Carol had always felt like the shadow of her pretty, clever and sociable older sister, so when Olivier, a handsome student, asks her out one day, she can hardly believe it. Carol lives in a happy dream world for several months until something shakes her world and she finds herself forced to find out whether her love is forever or whether it has an expiry date. A heart-rending and surprising love story.
