Sam; The polite, sincere, bright young law student. The boyfriend.
The man she'd been with for almost two years and the man she loved more than anything.

The man who had left her.

Dean; The rude, dishonest, overconfident stranger. The brother of the boyfriend.
The man she'd met only once and yet had somehow known that he was going to tear things apart.

The man who had made Sam leave her.

Jess; The girlfriend.
The girl who had trusted Sam when he said that everything would be fine.

The burning figure on the ceiling.

Someone who'd been left behind.
