Descrip­tions

Mon été avec Archie Remington, le fils prétentieux des amis de mes parents, s’annonçait désastreux.

Mais contre toute attente nos différences se sont transformées en amitié, jusqu’à une fatidique soirée un peu trop arrosée, lors de laquelle je lui ai révélé qu’il était l’objet de mes fantasmes.

Après ça, tout a changé.

Après une séparation aussi brutale que soudaine à la fin de l’été, nous sommes retournés à nos vies respectives. Malgré les kilomètres et les années, nous avons gardé contact en tant qu’amis.

Mais vous savez ce qu’on dit : si deux personnes sont faites l’une pour l’autre, le destin trouvera toujours un moyen de les réunir.

Eh bien, Archie a refait irruption dans ma vie, et d’une façon assez... inattendue.

Et cette fois, mon cœur va vraiment être mis à l’épreuve.

At first, I thought I’d hate spending the summer with Archie Remington—the conceited son of my parents’ friends.

What I knew about he was gorgeous, pre-law, and had always treated me like I didn’t exist when we were younger.

When our families bought a house together on an island in Maine, he and I were forced to share a bathroom.

The boy I remembered was now a full-grown man—but with the same attitude.

After a rough start, Archie and I unexpectedly started getting along one day and eventually became friends. We shared secrets and bonded during our morning jogs. I discovered that Archie had a wild spirit and that he struggled to conform to his father’s expectations.

Things were cool until I had to go and ruin it, getting drunk one night, and blurting out my fantasy—involving him.

I took it back, but it was too late. Archie had heard me loud and clear. After that, we never quite knew how to toe the line.

When that summer came to an abrupt and shocking end, I headed back to college, unsure if anything would ever be the same again.

Across the miles over the years, he and I stayed in touch as friends, but fate and timing always kept us from becoming more.

You know the If two people are meant to be, they’ll find their way back to each other?

Let’s just say Archie came back into my life in a way I would’ve never expected.

And this time, my heart would really be put to the test.
