Melissa met Kevin in a very college way: he bought her booze for her birthday party. They lived a floor apart in the same complex in Los Angeles, but were just friends. Years after graduation, a Facebook photo stirred her interest: he was at a fountain in the same park she used to go to as a child... across the world in Hong Kong.
They reconnected over the photo and met up, and a romance began to stir. But, they were in a transition period in their lives. He moved to Japan for a post-grad program. When visiting, she made a confession that nearly derailed things before they'd even started.
While they were both figuring out the direction of their lives, their next steps serendipitously took the same course... to the same city. To the same office. To the same apartment. To each other.
But, getting together was only the beginning. Years later, they faced a much harder chapter: one that pushed them to their edge before bringing them back together, stronger than ever.
This is the story of friendship to romance, and the non-linear road to love.
