First Encounters Friday is something new I’m trying out.  Here I will give you a little glimps into a book I’ve read or currently reading – it will be the very first meeting of two main characters, whether it’s the first time they have ever met, or the first time they have encountered each other within the book.

Today’s First Encounter comes from Meant To Be by Lauren Morrill
