Vertical Escalation. Extra Elements Series, #30

Willow is in love with Kashose. Kashose is in love with Willow. And yet, neither one of them had the strength to step over the line of friendship that they had drawn. It isn't until Willow's life is threatened and her ability to walk is threatened that they finally share their love for one another. That love is shared even further when the Rocky Mountain Ranch receives a desperate plea for help. Kashose, as one of the First Team, is sent out with his team to an ocean rig on the verge of collapsing.
Once there, the team is shocked to find that the plea was sent out by a group of children. Orphaned children that had been living out on the rig since the descension, children who had somehow survived against all of the odds against them. Children who needed families.
