Darcy believes in love at first sight. Even though it's never happened to her, she's spent her whole life waiting for that magical moment, hoping that when she meets the right guy, everything will fall into place perfectly. But right now, her life is anything but perfect. Heading home from a music festival, engine trouble means she's stranded at a Nevada bus station until morning. Even worse, it's the day before she leaves for college, her phone is dead, and she has no cash. Darcy's convinced nothing good can come of this night...but then she meets Russell. Cute, nice, funny, and kind, this is the guy-and the moment-she's been waiting for. As they walk and talk, the two connect, and Darcy is able to put aside all her fears and doubts about the future to focus on this perfect guy. Over the course of one fateful night, Darcy and Russell discover things they never imagined about each other and themselves. But can you really know someone after only a handful of hours? Is it possible to fall in love in less than day? Before they part, both their lives will be changed, and Darcy and Russell will have to decide if it's worth saying hello when you know you're destined for a goodbye. |
