Marcus promised Jasmine forever. And now that he is gone, she refuses to let anything remind her of their beautiful life together, as it is too precious to become just a memory. She has been avoiding gatherings, declining visitors, and steering clear of condolences sent her way. She understands people follow proper etiquette and want to offer her some words of comfort or sympathy, but for her, every single word is a reminder of her beloved Marcus’ eternal absence.
Marcus' big brother Alexander, whose existence she has no knowledge of, walks into her life and becomes her safe haven. Can she extricate herself from her desolation and fall in love again?
Why I love you

She knows he went in peace because he gave her hands a small squeeze, and a contented smile appeared on his face before he took his last breath. At that very moment, her heart started beating violently, as if it were trying to beat for him. And she could not breathe, as if his last breath were also hers.

“Did I just die?”
Standing by the bedside, Marcus is staring at himself. His body is lying peacefully on the bed, and he looks absolutely… like shit.
Shouldn’t there be a bright light somewhere? he thinks, looking around, and does not see anything looking like the tunnel of light he has read or heard about.
He thinks he is either going to the Heavy or to Hell, and it looks like he is not going anywhere.
Why am I still here? he feels really confused. Did I forget something?
Is he still around because of any unfinished business? If it is, what is it?
