Her mother, who had always been a constant presence in her life, suddenly abandoned her without explanation, leaving behind only a letter as a farewell. Madison was left alone and confused, struggling to understand why her mother would leave her in such a way. She found solace in her mother's sewing room, where she spent hours pouring over fabric swatches and sketching designs for a fashion show at Harbor, her hometown's local mall. The one thing she had left from her mother gave her a sense of purpose and hope for the future. Despite her passion for design, Madison's ideas were as absent as her mother. She struggled to come up with anything worthwhile, feeling lost and uninspired. To make matters worse, she was assigned the outcast Liam Strom as her math tutor. Liam was a boy with a troubled past, and he seemed to have just as many questions as answers. Despite this, Madison found herself drawn to him, and they began to form a connection. However, their relationship was put to the test when Madison discovered that Liam was hiding secrets far more serious than she could have imagined. As Madison navigated her complicated feelings for Liam and her desire to keep his trust, she realized that she had to make a choice between saving him or keeping her promise to her mother. This choice would change everything and force her to confront the harsh realities of life.
