If it wasn't for the rain, he never would have found me. If it wasn't for his car's leaking roof, he never would have stayed. If it wasn't for the boy in the red, soaked-through sweater, I would have never realized how great life sometimes really can be. He doesn't want to admit it, but Harry is officially lost. Stranded on a dirt road in the middle of a freak snowstorm with no gas and no reception after venturing too far away from his hometown of Holmes Chapel, he has little choice but to go out into the rain and search for a warm place to settle into for the night -- there is no way that he is going to spend the night inside of a cramped, leaking rental car. He is just about to give up hope when he sees a street mall with a coffee shop in the distance. It's the only shop with a light on, so he takes a leap of faith and makes a run for it. And that's where he meets Juno: gentle, hardworking Juno Cherry, the nineteen-year-old that closes up her aunt and uncle's coffee shop every Saturday night and the nicest person he's ever met. A night full of wool blankets, hot cocoa, and meaningful conversations with a beautiful girl makes Harry begin to seriously consider never leaving this shop. A night full of oversized sweaters, indie music, and secrets -- as well as a promise to be visited again -- makes Juno realize that maybe closing shop every Saturday isn't so bad after all. {All right reserved; I own everything except Harry Styles, sadly.} {Cover by the amazing @halcyon. x}
