Some places never stop feeling like home. For Vivienne Laurent, Sterling Point is exactly that. She grew up there, left for Jersey City, and returns every summer to the people who never really left her behind. Especially Ellis-her childhood best friend. Vivienne knows Sterling Point like the back of her hand. But this summer, everything changes with the arrival of a certain someone.

Maybe coming home isn't about returning to the place you left. Maybe it's about realizing who you've always been coming back to. 𓆉 ──────── ⋆ ──────── 𓆉 Ellis × Fem!OC
