Nicolette had been all but raised with her best friend, Max. Out in the open fields of wheat, they used to play. It had been there that Max had kissed first her hand and then her tender lips when they were just kids. She had fallen for him hard, despite her young age. When Max's father got transferred with the Navy and they had been forced to move when Nicolette was just sixteen, she had given herself to him before he left, cementing her place in his heart. Despite years of separation and leading very different lives miles and miles apart from each other, Nicolette and Max still yearn for each other. When Max is injured and is forced to leave the service, he heads back home to the farm land he had last seen Nicolette in. It had been so long since they'd seen each other, there was no guarantee what would happen, if anything when they saw each other again, but Max was determined to try... for she was the love of his lifetime, and he knew that you only got one of those.
