At the end of her Senior year Claire's once neighbor, Lucas, returns. This would typically just be an interesting piece of dinner gossip - pass the salt? - and life goes on...right? It isn't so. Claire can't get him out of her head and quite frankly, the attraction between them is obvious. But why are they only seeing this now?
Life won't wait for them as they are pulled in different directions. Claire will have to decide if she is willing to change the path she's headed towards for Lucas and if altering her plans to take a chance on love with someone she had once seen as no more than a neighbor and friend is the best thing to do. She'll have to ask herself if she can overcome her fears of falling hard and if she trusts him to be the one to catch her.
Because if it was not until the second time around that they realized these feelings, who's to say the risk is worth the shot in the dark?
