Julia has been living on Nova Island for six years. After the trauma she experienced on the island she decides to go home. It's been ten years since she's been to the small seaside town she grew up in. What she didn't expect to see when she got home...
It's after midday by the time I've finished the car. I start packing up my things and head back to the truck.
Before I climb in I see Bo walking down the stairs and he says. "How's the car going?"
"It's fixed. You'll be able to take the wife and kids for a drive. I'm sure they'd love to travel in style."
He laughs. "Of course they would. Everything is settled for tonight. I'll see you at the airfield at nine. Then we can leave for New York. My wife said that you and I need to have each other's backs while we're in New York. She also wants to meet Julia one day."
"Braelynn might meet her at the reunion if Julia changes her mind about not going. She's been running into some people that we've graduated with over the last couple of weeks, but she won't tell me how the conversations went."
He claps my back. "You'll get there. What are you doing after this?"
"I have to pick up a classic car that Julia bought. It's a 1969 Ford Mustang."
"Damn, that's a great car. I need one for my collection."
"You'll have to find one yourself. Or give Julia a call and she can keep an eye out on one for you. She was driving to her parents place when she found one for me." I climb into my truck and start it. "I better get the car before Julia calls and asks if I got it yet." Starting the engine I pull it away from the house and head in the direction of the gate.
The gate opens and I pull the truck out of the driveway. Looking at my phone I get the address and add it to the Navman. I follow the directions until I reach the house.
A guy is standing in front of the car and he looks at me as I walk over. "Are you Cole Mason?"
"Yes, Sir." I hold my hand out to him and he shakes it.
"I'm Maxwell Graham. A beautiful woman was here earlier saying that you'd stop by to pick up the car."
"That's right. Thanks for letting us take her off your hands."
A smile spreads across his face. "This car got me through a lot of things. It even managed to get me my wife. She was brought up around cars and once she saw mine she fell in love with it, but I was the one that won her heart in the end." He looks at me. "I can tell my car will be in perfect hands when it comes to Julia and you." He helps me hook the car onto the back of the truck and I take it to the garage.

At the garage I put the car into one of the sheds.
My phone starts ringing and I see "Julia" flash across the screen.
Me: Hey, this is Cole.
Julia: Hey, stranger. Did you get the car?
Me: Yes, I did. It's in the garage. Do you want to stop by and have a look?
