Elise Vernon hasn't had it easy. When she was just thirteen, her parents divorced, forcing her to move from California to Wisconsin with her mother and younger sister. Now at age seventeen, yet another tragedy has struck, forcing her to return to California and tie up all loose ends. Jason Evans is the person who regrets what he's done to Elise. With a history of friendship gone bad, Jason is more than surprised when he runs into Elise at the local ice cream shop - the girl he called his best friend was back - but she wasn't the same... And he's starting to put some of the pieces together.
