Aurora Jenkins went into a coma at a young age and awoke nearly 11 years later. Things were going swimmingly until her doctor informed them that her body was incapable of keeping up without the attachment of the machines that kept her alive during her years of sleep. Her life expectancy without those machines was only four months, but she could live longer if they were attached to her body. However, having the machine with her meant she couldn't leave her bed and do the things she wanted to do. Aurora didn't like the idea, so she ran away and hid from her mother. Aurora had already accepted that her life would be brief until she met Pierre Cardinal, the uncaring student council president at her university.
