Prologue.

It's winter in the middle of the state of Wisconsin. In a small coffee shop at the corner of town sits 18-year-old Ariel Matthews holding a small cup of hot chocolate. Her sweater is a tad too big, but still comfortable. Her long black hair is thrown up into a messy bun, just the way she likes it.

She sits behind the counter, every now and then getting up to help the one or two customers that walk in for an evening drink to warm themselves from the freezing wind. The sleeves of her sweater cover half of her hands, keeping all but her fingertips warm. With a sweet smile and a light wave, she bids the customers farewell and relaxes back into her chair where her book awaits her, getting lost in the world of fantasy and romance once again.

That is, until he walks into the store. He came in to apply for the newly opened spot as an employee, the spot she was hoping wouldn't be filled, even though that meant double the work for her. She enjoys helping the customers and watching the happy smiles on their faces as they drink their coffees and laugh with friends. She enjoys the free moments she has to sit and wait for the next customer, to just bask in the overwhelming smell of fresh coffee brewing behind her. It has always been peaceful.

But when 19-year-old Axel Stone came in, her world changed completely.

Omg all these people are so beautiful *coughing* especially the guy casted as Matti *coughing* Oh excuse me, I had a tickle in my throat....😂😂😂 I know, I know - Matti Matthews?! What was I thinking?! (I wasn't, obviously 😂😂) I was going to change their last name but then I thought it was so hilarious that I just had to keep it 😂😂😂 Also the Matthews boys are SUPPOSED to be triplets BUT do you know how freaking hard it is to find a perfect picture to fit them?! UGH! So I just went with somewhat similar looks so oh well 😂
