"He grabbed the collar of my jacket and pulled down revealing the multiple bruises and scars that I had on my arm, thanks to my dad. I turned to see both Holiday and Burnett's faces that showed the same questioning looks." I'm not good at summaries.

A story about Lily and James's relationship during their seventh year at Hogwarts, but not told in the usual way. James is depressed and angry; Lily is confused and trying to help. Plenty of desperation, but also some fluff and some humor. Serious consideration given to Lily's remaining concern for Severus and to her friendship with Remus. T for dark themes and occasional language.
