One evening, as they sat on the beach watching the sunset, Max took Allie's hand and looked into her eyes. He told her how much she meant to him, how much he admired her strength and her heart. Allie, feeling seen and loved, found herself opening up to him in ways she never thought possible.

It was during this summer that she met him—someone who would challenge everything she thought she knew about love and herself.
