Until it all got too much and he'd left Daydream. For good.Among all the special people in Daydream, Mason was just a bit more special. He had the ability to see all sorts of things; private conversations, someone’s biggest mistakes, and their tiniest, most insignificant moments. But even with this ability to glance into the future, he didn’t see Drew leaving Daydream for good. He didn’t see Drew breaking his heart. And he definitely didn’t see him coming back.**This book is the first in a series. It contains magical settings, best friends-turned lovers-turned strangers, a second-chance romance, and a lot of likable supporting characters.

Emmerson helped save the entire town of Daydream from a deranged mage, and he saved someone's life in the process. Granted, he didn't do it intentionally, but he was sure it still earned him a reward or something. A cake. A balloon.
