Next book: Tidal Flats
When they first met as children, he said, "I'll marry you."
The next time they met, she recognized him at a glance, but he introduced himself to her.
As it turned out, he was the scumbag she'd been cursing for ages.
Later, her mother asked if the two of them had never seen each other at school.
She said, "We've run into each other a few times. His ex-girlfriend and the girl he dated before her were both in my class, and one of them even lived in my dorm."
Then she got a warning from his own mother: "You'd better stay away from that scumbag."
She'd thought that all the years she'd spent holding on would come to nothing, but he was willing to give everything he had.
All so he could walk beside her.
Theme: From now on, his tenderness is for him alone.
