Meet Emily Garcia. She is afraid of goodbyes and refuses to let people in. Until her and her mother move to a small town and a couple important people weasel their way in her life and forever change her. She experiences many different life altering experiences and is able to get through each of them with the support of Lucas Hunter. Lucas falls for Emily instantly, but it takes time and patience for him to help her realize he isn't going to leave her. That she'll never have to say goodbye to him. ********** Lucas looks at me. I lower my head, slightly embarrassed that he is leaving his friends because Paul couldn't keep his hands to himself and I had to make a fool of myself getting away from him. He gently lifts my chin with his fingers and looks into my eyes. "Em, I already told you I wanna make sure that you get home. Me. Okay?"
