🎃 dual pov
🎃 a tiny splash of horror 

emma has always been this carefree, kind spirit with her head over the clouds. she has trouble following through with her plans and sometimes will dip on the people that love her the most but deep down she means the best. 

jack is this serious, got it all figured out, successful kind of person who has always had something for his best friend but has been afraid to admit it since they were young. it was too much to bear if she left him, and he didn't want to ruin their friendship after all. 

when it comes to ideas, emma has got it, and once she has her heart set on her dreams nothing can stop her; that is precisely what happens when she spots a location that makes her heart ignite. she has had dreams of making her own resort, a place where people could go to both relax and have a good time. but that dream can't come true unless she gives her good old buddy a call, jack colson. 

it would be a lie to say emma had never realized who her endgame would be, she knew from the start. but just like every good love story, right person wrong time has definitely ticked these two apart. in a sign from the universe, they embark on this journey together in order to find the perfect place and the perfect pitch for this dream to come true. 

don't get it twisted, things will come to haunt them. whether it is their past, or the people in a small town that don't want this new hotel to open up; but together, and with each other, they are more than unstoppable. there is a lot to unfold between them, so many unspoken feelings and words from the past but again, once emma has set her heart onto something, she does not back down. 

how spooky is it to actually show the deepest and truest part of yourself to someone, and not know what their reaction is going to be?
