At the tender age of ten, Nick thought he'd met someone who understood him. Abi Campbell was different, strange, with a funny voice. She was also the daughter of a local firefighter, his dad's friend and firehouse buddy. The girl could climb trees and be one of the boys. It endeared her to Nick.
Until she left, leaving silence in her wake.
Two decades later, she's back, unaware that Nick had a crush on her that hasn't been resolved or admitted to.
But there's always two sides to the story. Nick realizes that he can't stay cold and distant when he seems to be the key to both his and Abi's happiness.
With only a glance, Abi has relit the fire he's smothered for too long.
Can they keep the fire burning? Or will it blow out in the wind?
