And yet, there was something about Constance that was from another time . . .
Soon this mysterious woman and flesh and blood man share a closeness they cannot deny. But just as their love begins to bloom, Constanceâs presence starts mysteriously fading away, soon to be gone forever. Is their love doomedâor is it strong enough to transcend time, and even death itself?
