Every day brings new chances to make her pay for what she did. Daria built her reputation on sharp words and sharper heels. She walks over anyone who tries to hurt her first. Four years ago, she destroyed Penn completely, leaving his heart like trash on a summer day. He had asked her to save her firsts for him. Now she wants to be his last everything.
