Cara and Leo were childhood friends, until adolescence hit and they grew apart, though towards the end of high school, Leo begins to watch Cara at night.

After high school, Leo's wild lifestyle leads him to encounter the Silver, and he becomes one of them. When Cara returns from college to visit her parents, Leo realises he loves her and silvers for her. He snatches her from her garden in full view of her family, and reveals the truth to her. In hearing his story, Cara realises she loves him too, sealing the bond and turning Leo's eyes golden. He begins to drink from her, but goes too far and kills her. He attemptes to heal her through the bond, leaving a silver handprint on her stomach, but is unsuccessful, and they both die.

Two Silver who know Leo come to check on him, and discover the bodies, and the evidence of Leo's stalking. They receive orders from someone referred to only as 'him' to take the bodies of Cara and Leo, as 'he has a plan'.
