Synopsis

Roots from the trees go deep within the soil of the earth.
Roots within us grow deep within our soul, linking us to our family, our hopes, our dreams.. Our roots lead us to our start.. they lead us to our heart.

Sterling King is a girl with deep roots, and long branches that lead to nothing.

Harry Styles is a boy with bright leaves, and ever growing colors.

EXCERPT:

"Hi."

"Um... hi."

"What's your name?"

"Sterling...."

"Well... Aren't you going to ask me what mine is?"

"No...Why would I do that?"

"Because I'm a stranger peaking over the fence... I thought you'd be curious."

"Well I'm a stranger sitting in a tree house... I stopped being curious a long time ago. Curiosity brings nothing but trouble."

"Well I'm Harry... and I'm curious about you Sterling..."

"Well... stop."
