❝ I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life? Tell me, how's your family?
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier than ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why ❞
In which Jackson Conklin returns to Cousins Beach expecting a perfectly normal summer only to find himself falling for the youngest Fisher.
I don't remember the exact moment that I fell in love with you. But I remember thinking that if you weren't by my side. I wouldn't be alive
Jackson Conklin was excited to be back at Cousins Beach — a place he considered to be a second home to him and his siblings. A place where he can finally enjoy his summer without worrying about summer flings or his sister trying too hard to impress the Fisher brothers, hoping and praying that they will notice her glow-up. But everything changes when he falls for Lydia Fisher, the youngest Fisher. She wasn't like any girl that Jackson has dated before. She didn't take life seriously, always standing up for what's right, and in Jackson's eyes, she was picture perfect.
All summer, they've been stealing glances, sneaking around trying not to get caught by Lydia's overprotective brothers. But everything takes a turn for the worse when Lydia's mother gets super sick.
After the death of Susannah Fisher, Lydia wasn't the same again constantly lashing out, going to parties and smoking pot until Jackson couldn't recognize the girl he'd fallen in love with during the summer. Everyone watched as the once strong girl broke down right in front of their eyes, grieving the loss of her mother the one person who knew about her summer romance.
Jackson thought he was doing everyone a favor by ending things and hoping that things would go back to how they were, but of course, that wasn't the case when Lydia takes her anger out on Belly for breaking Conrad's heart and swearing off love forever. Deep down, he knew he made a mistake but it was for the best.
Now years later, they're reunited during the first year of college and the feelings that they once had during the summer all came rushing back.
Lydia — "Our mother just died and you decided now was the best time to break up with my brother"
Jackson — "Our love is just like a movie, boy falls in love during the summer, they decide to just be friends and end up falling in love all over again"
