How the Summer Began
A quiet summer in a small Florida town. Regular bowling nights, friends, and a job at an Italian bistro. But a new face at the bowling alley changes everything. Her name is Ayla, and she's beautiful, mysterious, and full of hidden depths. A chance encounter leads to a clumsy conversation on a pier, a shared ice cream, and the undeniable feeling that this summer is about to become much more complicated, and maybe, just maybe, magical.
