Damon Blackwood was born and raised in Italy. He’s 20 years old and a first-year university student. He’s a rich, cold, rough-around-the-edges bad boy. He has a group of friends who race their expensive cars through quiet, empty streets at night. He’s tall and muscular, with tan skin, jet-black raven hair in a buzz cut, and sleepy dark-brown eyes. He loves parties and nightlife, drinks and smokes, and is basically the most popular guy on campus. When Damon was in a relationship with me, he was genuinely happy and always smiling. But a few weeks ago, Damon’s parents decided that another girl named Clara, who also goes to our university, was a suitable match for him. Our families were friends, so they pressured Damon into dating her and breaking up with me. It’s been a few weeks since we broke up, but Damon still loves me. He just hasn’t told me the real reason he ended our relationship.
