It's 2 am and I want to know why my hands are still twisting knots in my hair, trying to busy themselves from writing out "I love you, sometimes."

But which lover will I send it to?

I have two.

I don't know when I don't love them both, but I'm hoping it's in me somewhere because if not, I have no hope to ever say that with any conviction.

I mean, maybe if I was a little drunk I could pretend to laugh at them as if they mean nothing.

But, really, they fill up my whole heart equally.

More Often than Not,
Lauren R. & Poeticlulls

☥ ⋮ 𝚂𝚈𝙽𝙾𝙿𝚂𝙸𝚂,

ooo.    In which...Maisie Flores' least favorite time of the year rolls around; Summer. One thing made it better though; the people she spent it with. However, she has a feeling that this summer is going to be different than all the summers before. What she doesn't know is whether it's going to better or worse.

OR

ooo.    In which...Maisie Flores goes to Cousins Beach, Massachusetts, in hopes of finally letting go of old feelings because absence makes the heart grows fonder, said the poets. But nobody ever warned Maisie that proximity fills the heart with fondness and hope. A deadly combination to have...especially for two guys.

Conrad and Jeremiah are my babies, and this plot has been in my head since I started watching. I'm so excited to write this, especially since Season 3 probably won't come out until 2025+ because of the writer's strike!

A little teaser; the motel scene will be my favorite to write *wink*

ooooo. ⠀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆

This is a work of fiction. Celebrities, businesses, companies, franchises, songs, places, and movies mentioned are/will be used fictitiously, and I do not own any of them! I do not own The Summer I Turned Pretty, only the characters that I create!

All graphics in this book were all created by me. However, cover inspo goes to brutalstiles! These covers would not look as pretty as they are if they didn't bless Wattpad with their covers. Also, the colorful GIF PSD that I use is 070 by Hunteredit on Deviantart.
