    Summary

    In 1993, Javier Peña finds himself in his hometown of Laredo, Texas awaiting his "trial" of sorts. In a club one night, he meets the most beautiful woman he's ever seen. She's much younger than he is, so carefree, angelic, and utterly perfect. She makes him forget about the terrors and regrets of Colombia.

    But she's far from perfect-- living in a man's world and struggling to prove herself in her STEM career. She's intelligent, hardworking, and stubborn. The perfect package.

    Except... she's an addict with a problem and she doesn't even realize it till it's too late.

    A/N: If topics of drug use hit too close to home, please do not read! The issues of sobriety and addiction hit very close to home and I wanted to get this story out there. It serves more as an AU while Javier is in the US; but nonetheless, it covers some heavy topics.
