Violet practically lived at the Walters' house, a constant presence. Whether immersed in gaming with her best friend, Isaac, or engrossed in movies with Danny, she always found herself 'hanging out' with Cole, be it in his room, the loft, the barn, or even the serene flower fields. To their parents, they were just good friends, but their connection ran much deeper.
They shared a profound love, one that was sweet, kind, caring, and passionate—a love where they'd go to great lengths for each other. Violet transformed Cole's outlook on dating, and he, in turn, reshaped her expectations of how she should be treated by a guy.

Each day, as Violet made her way to the Walter residence, the familiar sight of Cole engaged in a game of football awaited her. Despite the town's whispers dubbing her a bit of a oddball, there was an unwavering warmth in the Walter home that made her feel completely accepted. Always.

"You love it."
"I hate it."

"Fine. But I'm sleeping on the floor, and we aren't talking or touching," she asserted. Cole smirked, "We all know that's a lie."
"I can't stand you," she declared, edging away from him. He swiftly reached out, pulling her onto his lap. "You love me," he asserted, and she shook her head defiantly. "Say it," he insisted, his breath catching. "Fine! I love you."
