Corey stared in disbelief at the charred wasteland. Everything was gone-destroyed by the firestorm that turned her neighborhood to blackened ash. The loss was devastating-but for Corey, the loneliness was worse. Everyone was too busy trying to put life back together to understand her problems everyone except the one person she thought was too tough to care about anything.
