In this novella we get a sweet story that is full of emotion and heart. Mason and Paige meet one nigh tout with friends, and it is the night before Mason is deployed, so they make the most of it. Paige finds out that Mason never receives packages or letters because he doesn’t have anyone anymore, she makes it her priority to write to him while he is away. These two writes, email, and talk when they can and as often as they can which forms a bond between them neither was expecting, so when something happens that changes things Paige is determined to show Mason, she is in this with him, and he doesn’t have to be alone. It is very fast paced, but it packs all the emotions of one trying to overcome tragedy and opening themselves to love. I loved getting to see Oakside again as well as reading about the guys from Highway 55. ( )
