Malin was in love with Theo for 12 years since the moment she laid eyes on him. But for Theo, well, he didn't feel the same. That was, until Malin leaves New York and isn't heard from for 5 years. In those 5 years, things changed drastically; Malin wasn't a lovesick little girl anymore, and Theo wasn't a free-spirited teen anymore. The two weren't little kids anymore - they were near adults who had a life worth living. Theo thinks he has his whole life planned out: finish his senior year strong, apply for college, and move the hell away from home. His plan is plain and simple, and nothing should have gotten in the way of that. Until she shows up 5 years later at his sister's wedding.
