•Modern AU•
•Yes, I spell Lukas wrong.•
Lukas' heart is big, it holds love for his family and friends. But, it still has a beautiful untouched part for someone special. Max Mayfield.
Max had casually been with Lukas for one summer, but has never claimed that special part of his heart. No matter how much he offered it.
Max knows that she is too touched to love him the way he deserves. Max's heart is small, it's missing parts, it's been touched and ripped by her family. There's not one part of Max that hasn't been touched, bruised even. There's nothing left for Lukas, but can a stubborn boy be satisfied with the leftover remains of a broken girl's heart?
