“Oh, Allison when would you learn your lesson?”
It may be Christmas break, but Allison can the feel the heat. Instead of studying for her finals, she was caught up having sex with her no-good ex-boyfriend, Mark. He is selfish and a non-apologetic serial cheater. The sex was good, but it leaves her hollow afterward when reality has kicked in at the time she’s lost. Allison has a supportive family, and she is looking forward to taking a break away from the University of Columbia in New York and spending the holidays with them back in Dakota.
A meek voice catches her attention before she leaves her class, turning to a hot guy – she dubbed as Mr. Tardy – as he either never turns up for class, or if he does it is always very late. He sheepishly introduces himself as Jack Corrode, and ask if she would like to go for a coffee. Over a caramel macchiato, they make small talk, laughing about his ‘chronic tardiness’ – until he gets a phone call that makes him edgy.
