Now... not so much. They're careful. Distant. Like one wrong move might break whatever's left. And the worst part? They're still deeply, painfully in love. When Clarisse's artistic, endlessly loving mother, Isabelle, wins an exclusive getaway, she gives them the prize-and the risk: a quiet, cozy cabin on a star-lit island off the coast of North Carolina. No friends. No distractions. No easy way out. Just them. One trip. One cabin. Only one bed.

Feelings they swore they'd buried start resurfacing, whether they're ready or not. With graduation, finals, and the future closing in, Clarisse and Joseph are forced to face the truth. Love doesn't just disappear. But sometimes, loving each other isn't enough.
