    Summary

    Phone calls from the hospital are not a rare thing in the Sakaki household.

    Sometimes they're for Giovanni, because some idiot got mauled in the forest, and he has to go pretend to care, and to not think that maybe in some cases, natural selection is a good thing.

    Usually they're for Grace, at ungodly hours in the morning, to go rush off to do her job, and come home smelling like a mixture of blood, disinfectants, and coffee.

    So the phone ringing wasn't a surprise.

    The little boy with red hair, silver eyes, and a terrible fever was though.

    Summary

    Penelope, a quirky Zuzu City native with a love for all things nature, spent years hoping to leave her hellish life in the city behind. After burning out from her corporate job and escaping an abusive relationship, she finally decides it’s time to try her hand at restoring the old, run-down farm her grandfather had willed to her.

    She’s expecting to find peace and quiet in sleepy seaside Pelican Town, but life throws her a curveball when she ends up in an unlikely whirlwind romance with Shane, the self-proclaimed town drunk who breaks her heart in two. Penelope convinces herself she’s moved on when she notices Harvey, the town doctor, who she’s had a crush on since day one. She swears she’s finally happy, but her entire world flips upside down overnight when Shane comes back into her life months later, and she struggles against feelings that she thought were dead and buried.

    Through heartbreak, mental illness, and grief, Penelope learns how to love and be loved, earning the trust and friendship of Pelican Town’s residents along the way. But will love and friendship be enough to save the valley and her family farm from Joja Corp?

    Summary

    Emma is seeing just how hard his farming thing really is. Everything has been going pretty okay, but this summer has kicked her ass.
    Intentions of heading to the bar for a well-earned drink show her just how socially exhausted she is, so she sits next to the one person least likely to socialize with her - Shane.

    Except, the way he ignores her only makes her want his attention more... as usual.

    But tonight, Shane is a bit more welcoming, and after what comes from it, he's gonna have a much harder time pushing her away than he already was.
