Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Five years after high school Brittany and Santana were happy. They had each other and everything else they could wish for... but when everything suddenly falls apart, how much time is there to fix it? Warning: Character death.

For six months Santana has been living in New York City with Kurt and Rachel, but now Brittany has received her diploma and is finally coming to join them. Can new relationships accommodate old ones? And can the past ever really be recaptured?

I wanted to follow her. So bad. She was the most interesting person I'd ever seen in my entire life and I didn't even know why. Brittana

Brittany is perpetually cast as the dumb blonde, but the reasons behind her demeanor are more complex than that. She looks back on her childhood, her relationship with Santana, and the life-altering effects the decisions of her youth had on her future.
