Vincenzo Verlice
When Rosalie was only eight years old and Vincenzo Verlice was ten, people often wondered how they became friends at all. Vincenzo had striking white hair, gray eyes, and a naturally cold face that made him look intimidating even as a child. Quiet and distant, he preferred reading beneath trees over playing games, causing most children to avoid him. Rosalie was his complete opposite. Though shy around strangers, once comfortable she became endlessly talkative, filling every silence with random questions and cheerful stories. Somehow, she became the only person unafraid of him. Beneath their favorite tree, Rosalie brought warmth into Vincenzo's lonely world. But one winter, after Rosalie's parents passed away from illness they couldn't afford to treat, she vanished without a trace—leaving behind a ten-year-old boy who never even learned her last name. Fifteen years later, Vincenzo was still searching.
