The summer before high school was bittersweet for Katherine Collins. It was the summer she met a boy who quickly became her friend, first crush, and trusted reading companion; and who was ultimately ripped away from her when his parents found somewhere else for him to be. Now going through a messy divorce and trying to keep it together, Katherine's boss has a surprise for her in the form of a new colleague he's sending over to help with her real estate showing. Katherine, who just wants to prove she's capable, begrudgingly welcomes her new partner to the home, and quickly realizes they've met once before - during a long ago summer that was cut too short. So much has changed over the years, but with a freedom neither of them possessed as children, fate seems to have given them a second chance.
