"It's summer in Longmoor. Weird shit always happens." He grinned. "You and me? Wouldn't be the weirdest."
___________
For almost fifteen years, four families lived at the end of Finney Court in Longmoor, North Carolina.
For fifteen years, the Metsons, Lewises, Bryers, and Cruzes have attended every sports game, every dance recital, and every poorly rehearsed theater production. Whether it was graduations, weddings, or vacations, the Finney Court families did it together.
Other than growing up across the street with parents who are best friends, Dakota Metson and Wesley Lewis have nothing in common.
But when devastating news hits Finney Court, everyone returns to Longmoor to handle it the only way they know how- together.
So actually, Dakota and Wesley have at least one thing in common.
They're both home for the summer.

We were a team. A confidence team, gaining your trust and ripping you off for every penny we could squeeze out of you. Stealing millions between pickpocketing, elaborate schemes against the rich, and knocking off banks; we made it big. We were good, really good at what we did. This time we were too greedy. We couldn't pass up a 4 million dollar art con. Each couple would have walked away with 2 million dollars and we could have settled down and finally started the family we had talked about for years. But he disappeared......in the middle of the night, abandoning me. Until he returned with a bullet hole in his arm and desperation in his eyes. Begging me to help him one last time, but could I ever forgive him? Could I ever look past his betrayal of leaving me in Tennessee to fend for myself and fight off the cops myself? ●●●●●●●●●●●●●● "What were the first words you ever spoke to me?" He asked softly, his thumbs wiping away the wetness from my cheeks. "No." I choked out. "Don't! I don't want to say it." "You said...Hi, my name is Alexis and I just moved into my grandparent's house across the street. Can I play with you? And I knew the moment I laid eyes on you...." "You were 10 years old, you didn't know shit." I croaked. "I may have been 10, but I knew a beautiful girl when I saw one. And you blew the rest of the world out of the water. I may have saved you by leaving you in Tennessee, but at least you still had your grandparents. I had no one if I didn't have you."Complete
