The story starts out post World War 2. The main character is Evie, a 15-year-old girl. The family decides to take a spur of the moment trip to Palm Beach in Florida. Evie thought it was going to be an uneventful trip, but was proved very wrong. She went to a dance for a high school that she (obviously) didn’t belong to. She got so frustrated with the fact that no boy would ask her to dance. So, she went to the pool, and threw her sandals in the pool. There, she caught a boy’s eye, and he asked her for a dance. She thought she would never see him again. To her surprise she saw him the next morning at breakfast, and met her parents. She learned that his name was Peter Colderige, he was twenty-three, and his dad and himself had been army buddies. Peter invited Evie and her family to lunch in a town close to Palm Beach. They half-heartedly accepted, and enjoyed lunch with Peter. During the lunch Peter and Evie escaped, and Peter admitted to thinking Evie was beautiful, but had to stay away from her.
