   Summary

   After a large summer thunderstorm Darry runs into a girl he hadn’t seen since high school; Layla El-Masri. After a bit of taking Darry realizes that the paths they took after school weren’t so different. Maybe this time he can actually confront how he feels instead of pushing it away, or will fate break them apart again, or maybe for good?

   Darry and Layla go through challenges throughout the story, can they mend the problems of their friendship, or will it fall apart again?
