Darcy has always believed in love at first sight, though it has never happened to her. She waits for that perfect moment when everything clicks with the right person. Her life feels far from perfect as she heads home from a music festival. Engine trouble leaves her stuck at a Nevada bus station overnight. Her phone died, she has no money, and she leaves for college tomorrow. Then she meets Russell. He's cute, funny, and kind. As they walk and talk through the night, Darcy connects with him in ways she never expected. She puts aside her worries about the future to focus on this moment. Over these few hours, both discover things about themselves and each other they never imagined. But can you truly know someone after such a short time? Can love happen in less than a day? Before they say goodbye, both their lives will change forever.
