The Aid

❝In sickness and in health, to love and to cherish...❞ Unfortunately, Evie and Harry had to start with sickness and annoyance as the only emotion. Evie Stanton grew up playing the bass and dreaming of her own art exhibition before a fateful winter night hurled her into adulthood at the age of eighteen. Two years later and 150 miles farther from home, the former wild child hasn't let her past bring her down and does her best with what she's learned from it - be there for others as much as possible. Harry Moran's life seemed perfect - great family, beautiful girlfriend, good looks and athleticism that brought him popularity at college. What no one could see behind his charm and sense of humor was a middle child who kept all of his problems to himself, going as far as putting his own life in danger after a heartbreaking diagnosis, so as not to be a burden to anyone around him. And then, the two meet. Art meets sports, heavy metal meets alternative rock, but more than anything, stubborn meets stubborn. Big-city girl with a savior complex meets small-town boy who simply refuses to be taken care of. Unstoppable force from Manhattan meets immovable object that has come to get on her nerves all the way from Colorado, and what better way to deal with it than to make her life all about saving his? // TW: serious illness, strong language, alcohol, mentions of substance abuse
