*Finley’s met someone… and she is everything. Their dream girl, Juniper Sumac,* *might be too good to be true. Is young love just that magical, or is something* *sinister brewing? Between the bodies…
[whimsical music] I'm 22 years old, and today I had that inexplicable feeling that everything was about to change.
It's a feeling in your bones, an unrelenting suspicion that, that something today would be different, full of life in a way it hasn't been for a really, really long time.
And I was right, because today, miraculously, I met the love of my life.
Her name is Juniper Sumac.
And she is everything.
I was studying at the old park by my house like I do, like I always do, and, um, and then she spoke to me.
[birds chirping] [exhales] Hey.
[chuckles]
Hmm?
Do you mind if I sit here for a second? I just need to catch my breath.
Y- yes.
No, um, uh, no problem.
Sweet.
[chuckles] It's too hot out here for this.
[laughs]
[laughs]
[exhales]
It was nothing, and it was everything.
Though she complained, she didn't seem tired.
She was actually glowing despite being at the end of what was a seemingly long evening jog.
Although she didn't appear to need anything, I wanted to do anything I could to help her.
Maybe because I like to think of myself as a nice person.
Maybe just to selfishly try to get her to remember me.
Uh, uh, uh, do, do you need water? I brought an extra bottle.
I didn't, but she didn't need to know that.
