"There wasn't anything for me at home anymore, I guess. What about you? You're clearly not from around here so why did you come here of all places?" He asks me. "To escape." I admit. "And did you escape it?" He asks and I linger upon his words, carefully plotting my response. Although I don't want to tell him anything, nor do I want to know too much about him - I can't stop myself. ***************** This is an Alternate Universe and this story contains mature and explicit scenes and content. Set in the small town of Portofino, this book creates summer vibes that can be similar to Call Me By Your Name and Mamma Mia but there are dark themes and mature content I advise you to check the chapter prior to reading to see if there is a Trigger Warning. That being said, enjoy reading.
