❝"They serve the best milkshakes ever!" 

You sounded so much like a kid. 

"My favourite is Butterscotch. What's yours? Wait, let me guess it. Chocolate? Oreo? Cookie dough?" 

"Butterscotch," my lips blurted out. 

And with the way your eyes lighted up, I decided to let sixteen years of my hate for milkshakes go.❞

Christmas.

Everyone remembers it as a day of festivity, joy and gingerbread. 

Artis Hart remembers it as the day she lost faith in love. 

In 2009, Artis Hart and Ethan Brewer parted ways during Christmas Eve, both not knowing what went wrong. 

Now eight years later, Artis sets out to find Ethan and demand what actually went wrong during Christmas Eve all those years back. 

Tangled in between broken memories, new changes, unspoken words and two different time periods, will a simple curiosity turn out to be a second chance? 

Or remain just a beautiful disaster?

"It's a cliché. It makes no real sense and yet there we were, baring our souls to each other while Jess Glynne claimed there was no place she'd rather be over the speakers. Even while twirling my paper straw in my cherry vanilla milkshake, just to keep my fingers busy, I somehow knew I would always come back to this moment and fondly recall the past two hours of muted conversation, probing stares and soft laughter. I would always come back to my booth boy." ~~~~ An unexpected rendezvous between two semi strangers finds it way back into their lives 4 years later when love brings them back to the quaint little town of Park City. Could the subtle blooming summer friendship nipped in the bud blossom into a spring romance? Could it possibly survive the harshest winter yet? Aileen Magnolia Benoit-Pierre, well just Pierre now, wants nothing more than to lay back, kick her feet up and take a BREAK. Working insane shifts, battling an overactive imagination and terrible decision making, all while simply trying to attain her degree is finally taking it's toll on her. The upcoming winter wedding is the perfect opportunity for some unwinding and she's ready for it. Too bad Cassius Hernandez has other ideas. I guess the friendzone's not for everyone.
