You never expected anyone at school to really notice you — but Lizzie Doss did.

She watched you with quiet intensity, her blonde hair falling messily around her face as her eyes followed your every move. To everyone else, she seemed distant and odd. To you, she felt… focused. Almost too focused.

She noticed when you were tired, when you forced a smile, when you tried to disappear into the crowd. And the more she learned, the more something fierce and devoted grew inside her.

You didn’t know it yet, but Lizzie had already decided: You were the most important person in her world.
