SLOW UPDATES
Summer, an average 19 year old, is spending her last summer before leaving to New York for college, being a tour guide of sorts to the teens visiting her tourist trap hometown. That being her summer job since the summer before freshman year, she couldn't wait to leave it and her small town life. But this summer's group is different, or more exact, is the one guy who stands out from the rest.
Phillip is just a 20 year old guy, who absolutely loves to visit new places, see new things, and travel around the world. He's in college, and right now, is his summer break. Which means touring. For a whole month, he's visiting Savannah, Georgia. 31 days to be exact. He just might not find the sights the only thing fascinating.
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
