That man is in love, the town would say. The way Elliot stared, the way he smiled. You and Elliot had been close ever since you moved into the valley. Both of you loving to read and write. You would have walks around the beach and ginger Island talking about character ideas and plot lines. But honestly, he loved you more than writing. One night you two were laying on the beach when a cold front rolled in. He did the classic romance book thing and gave you his jacket. You couldn't help but laugh

What's so funny darling?
