Months have passed since Callie left the Outer Banks behind-since she walked away from JJ, from everything they had, and everything they lost.
Now back on the island, Callie needs to come back to her old life without making the same mistakes.
But have JJ and Callie really gotten over each other? And can they stay friends without hurting each other?

Now, Callie must decide: is the past something you leave behind, or something you fight for?
In this story I try to capture the wild, messy beauty of falling for someone you can't seem to let go.
