Description
Darcy believes in love at first sight.
She's spent her whole life waiting for that magical, movie-worthy moment. But right now, her life is anything but perfect. It's the day before she leaves for college - and she's stranded at a bus station until morning. Her phone is dead, she has no cash, and she's all alone... until she meets Russell.
Russell. Cute, nice, funny, and kind. She knows this is the perfect moment - and the perfect guy - that she's always been waiting for.
Over the course of one fateful night - filled with football field picnics, night swimming, and escape-artist dogs - Darcy and Russell's lives will change forever. They'll discover things they never imagined about each other... and about themselves.
But can you truly know someone in a matter of hours? Is it possible to fall in love in just one day?
And is it even worth saying hello... when you're destined for a goodbye?
