Waverly is broken by her past, and she carries it like an armour to protect herself from further pain. She had learned the hard way that love is not for her, that life alone, was her forever. She has locked away her heart, forgotten, never to see the light of day again. Because of it, she has hurt a lot of people, the coldness inside of her has pushed away any attempts of getting close to her. Waverly has lost herself into the darkness and has embraced it with finality, that is until a door opens, casting a light of hope at the other side.
Nicole lives with her pain every single day, she holds onto it, finding comfort in the suffering. She thinks she deserves the retribution, after causing the loss of her first great love, and the broken heart that came after it. But even in her brokenness, Nicole is giving and loving, incapable of not giving away her fragmented heart. She has surrendered herself to defeat, until she opens a door, and finds a new love. A love that this time she will fight to keep and protect.
Waverly Earp was Nicole Haught's first everything. First hand hold, first date, first kiss, first love... Nicole would have followed her anywhere, and she did for that whole summer of 2014. But it's been five years since Nicole has seen Waverly. She knows she's still in love, but she doubts Waverly feels the same. Still, she often chases the memories, and the freedom and feeling she had with Waverly, wondering if she will ever see her again. Until one day, she does...
