Cassie is ready to start summer after college and spend it with her dad and friends what she doesn't know is that an unexpected summer love is in store with one of her dad's friends. ⚠️- literally expect anything Cassie is 19 and Joel is in his late 40s

After finishing another long year at college, 21-year-old Y/N returns to the sun-drenched plains of Texas to spend the summer with her father; a tradition she looks forward to every year. A Southern belle with a wild heart, Y/N is happiest in boots, with a book in her hands and her horse, Rosemary, by her side. She spends most of the year in Georgia with her mom, but Texas is where her roots run deep. Her dad's annual "Welcome Home" party is as familiar as sweet tea on a hot day; grilled food, loud music, and neighbors dropping in just to say hi. But this summer, something's different. Joel Miller, her dad's rugged best friend, is there. And he's not just catching up. He's watching her; closely. With a gaze that lingers too long and a smirk that says he remembers the girl she was, but sees the woman she's become. The heat of the Texas summer has nothing on the slow burn that starts when Joel enters the picture. As boundaries blur and sparks fly, Y/N will have to decide if she's just playing with fire...or if she's ready to get burned.

Until you come home one summer, after graduating college, and suddenly - You can't think about anything anything else #8 thelastofus #14 videogames #148 tlou
