"Come on babe." Evan insists. "Please? For me?" I look around, considering my options. The party has started to die down, and the small lake further into the woods is pretty concealed. "Fine." I sigh, grinning. "Really?" He smirks. "You'll skinny dip with me?" I pause. "Sure." "Great." He says. "I love you Harper." <><><><> Harper is your typical good girl. Shy, quiet, and reserved. So everybody is surprised when she manages to land a guy like Evan. Prom King, quarterback, ladies man. Evan introduces her to a new world, a world of popularity. And Harper tries to be the best girlfriend she can be. But one night, it all falls apart, and Harper is left in a mortifying situation. Naked. Luckily the River boys are around to save the day. After a few pictures of course.

At birth, I was given a necklace that was half of a unique shape and my soulmate wore the other half. The warmer it got, the closer together we were. You would think this would spare me the pain and heartbreak of being played with. Wrong. You see my soulmate, Brian, is the love of every girls life and I just so happen to be matched with him. The problem? I never really planned who I fell in love with. I didn't plan on not wanting to be soul mates with Brian, it's just that Alex entered my life and it just happened, and when it did, I fell hard and fast. But you see the thing is they told us me and Alex couldn't be together. But, he told me he would fight for us, he would fight for all the fireflies in this world whose light has faded. But we were going to prove them wrong. Because in the end, I loved him as much as a firefly with a bright burning passion. #168 in Romance on 8/16/16 -------- cover by @maytijssen Copyright bgirly16
