Westlake, South Carolina. Home to Brooklyn Callahan, the best latte maker on the east coast. Or so her mom tells her. She's lived in the mundane town with two stop lights her whole life, never needing more than the beach, her record player, and three coffees a day to counteract her terrible sleep schedule.
Nothing interesting has ever happened to her and nothing ever will...that is, until one of the most famous, brown haired, green eyed nineteen year olds in the world waltzes into her work near closing and orders a black coffee. The ten minute exchange doesn't go very far, but with the whole summer ahead of him, Harry is determined to learn more about the first person he's met in a long time that didn't know his name.
Brooklyn has only known quiet, and Harry has only known commotion. What happens when they show each other the sides of life they've been missing, overcome trials, and experience heartbreak, all while learning what love is in the process?
EXCERPT:
"I'm Harry." He says, and I only furrow my brow deeper.
"Brooklyn." I say, even though I told him last night. "And I'm confused."
"About what?"
"You."
"Already? We barely know each other yet."
"Yet?"
"I said I had the summer off."
"...Congrats?"
He laughs. "If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to make the most of it in your little town you call Westlake."
Now I laugh. Hard. Almost a little too hard. And now I'm embarrassed. "Sorry, I just have no idea why you would subject yourself to that." I sigh.
"I'd like a little bit of nothing." He says, repeating my words from last night.
"I mean I guess there's nothing wrong with that...but why are you telling me this?"
His gaze averts from me to the window for a few seconds before he looks back at me and shrugs his shoulders. "Don't know. But I like you, Brooklyn, so maybe you can show me around."

"I see you've become brave" He chuckles, his eyes dark.
"I didn't have a choice," I say without a hint of emotion in my voice.
His eyes stay still at me when after a certain point I look away for a moment as the situation was getting too intense.
Our silent breathing filled the room as he stood there holding me to the door, his fingers digging deep in my skin. Hard but not enough to hurt.
"You have to tell me what goes on in your mind when it comes to me. Why do you keep hurting me?" I look him in the eyes, questioning.
He leans in making me doubt what he intended to do as I turn my head looking to my left. His forehead softly touches my temple and rests against it. For some reason, it calmed me down. I stand there not moving a bone, too scared perhaps.
Slowly, he takes a few strands of hair tucking it behind my ear. I hear him take a deep breath, and slowly exhale through his mouth parting his lips. His warm breath made my skin moist as he slowly he leans further down to my ear and he touches it softly with his lips sending shivers down my body.
"Trust me, you don't wanna know what goes on in my mind when it comes to you."
