Minnesota is cold and rainy almost all the time and Paz is just counting down the days until she can escape into the wilderness or the big city and away from her drunk of a father.
A girl at Paz's school, Artemis, tells her that if she ever wanted to actually leave, she'd pick her up right away. So when her father finds out that Paz is into girls, she runs.
Artemis keeps her promise, picking her and her cat, Gladys, up and leaving for Paz's runway mother's house in southern Cali.
Though sad, and happy, and cold, and hot times, Paz is only sure of one thing.
She never wants to end this drive home.

Through the Lavender Fields
Ethan James, a travel writer from the U.S., has just emerged from a painful breakup. Seeking peace and inspiration, he escapes to the lavender fields of Provence, France, hoping to write his next book. There, he meets Julien Delacroix, a quiet, reserved local perfumer who crafts exquisite fragrances from the lavender Ethan adores. Their first encounter is far from smooth-Ethan accidentally crashes into Julien's bike, sparking tension. Julien, however, offers a deal: Ethan can help with the lavender harvest, and Julien will forgive the damage to his prized bicycle. Though they are opposites, Ethan's openness and enthusiasm slowly break through Julien's barriers. Julien has spent years avoiding the emotional turmoil of a past love lost. His lavender farm, a quiet haven, serves as both refuge and reminder of his pain. Ethan's relentless curiosity begins to draw him out of his shell, and they start spending more time together-working in the fields, distilling lavender oil, sharing meals under the fading sunlight. A tentative friendship forms, but as their connection deepens, so does the risk of vulnerability. As the summer festival celebrating the lavender harvest nears, their chemistry becomes undeniable. A night of dancing beneath the stars turns their bond into a blossoming romance. However, Julien, afraid of repeating past heartache, pushes Ethan away, fearing love will only leave him broken again. Caught between the promise of a new life with Julien and the demands of his career back home, Ethan must choose-follow his professional obligations or open his heart to a future in Provence. In a final act of courage, he returns to Julien with a gift-a fragrance inspired by their time together.0Complete
