Summary
Jean’s eyes fall to the ground, as though unable to take you gawping at him. There’s a flush at the tips of his ears and when you continue to stare at him in silence, the heat spreads to his face.
Your mouth parts for a response, though nothing comes out, floundering like a fish out of water. You are crossed between surprise, confusion, and…intrigue.
You see him occasionally when you pick up your laundry, bump into him when you grab the mail, and offer a curt nod whenever passing in the hall.
Overall, you are total strangers.
To say you’re blind-sighted is an understatement. The last thing you expected in the evening was for Jean to wander in the laundry room, spot you, and ask you to be his pretend girlfriend.
...
Jean tells a white lie and invites you for the ride.

Summary
At twenty years old, Mikasa thinks she’s been through more than most – her mother’s dead because of her, her father is an addict in denial because of her, and now she’s the shadow of the girl she used to be.
At twenty years old, Mikasa thinks she’s too young to be starting fresh – but she still moves across the country to leave everything behind in the hopes of forgetting a life that will never be again.
At twenty years old, Mikasa can’t understand why in a new city, with no familiar faces, someone already knew who she was, and worse – he seemed to know how she’d gotten that scar on her cheek, too.
