Ellie goes to Iowa for college, Paul stays in Squahamish to focus on Munsky Sausages and to look after Ellie Chu's dad. Ellie meets new people and finds new challenges as she enters college life.

She went to Grinnell. She went to Art School. They kept in touch. It's been almost half a year since Ellie planted a kiss on Aster Flores' lips before she rode off into the sunset with her bike. They both knew what "see you in a couple of years" truly meant, it was part of their nonverbal understanding of one another. When Aster said "In a couple of years I'm gonna be so sure," Ellie knew she really meant to say, "It's gonna take some time to understand my sexuality but I'll get there eventually. And when I do, I might just be ready for something." Subsequently, Aster knew what Ellie meant after she kissed her. "And I'm willing to try that something out whenever you're ready." They'd only seen eachother once after that when both of them came back home for Christmas break. Since then, both of them have been too swamped with college to visit home. But everything is gonna change when an incident causes Deacon Flores to call for an emergency gathering in the small town. Aster, Ellie and Paul are united again in their hometown. Have things changed? Has Aster changed? Has Ellie changed? Are these too many questions? I honestly just had no idea what to write for this preview thingy without giving too much away, how do authors do this man??? Growth, Love, Friendship and Family truly gets explored in this fanfiction. (I really don't why I wrote this like some kind of review from New York Times... You know what? Enjoy!)

"I'll see you in a couple of years", she says as she rode her bike away. A lot of laughters, tears and pain. New challenges and feelings to be felt. What is left unsaid to be told, feelings to be touched. What's next for Paul, Ellie and Aster? What is the boldest stroke they could possible make? What bold stroke will they be risking in order to achieve that greater painting? Characters and actual plots belong to its respective owners.
