Season Of Mist (First Love)

the long version

TOM WAS AN ENIGMA When seventeen-year-old Corey met Tom she knew at once that he was everything that she had always wanted; he was gentle, understanding and funny. Every time she saw him, she fell more deeply in love. She wanted to cherish this newfound happiness, but she was tormented by the mystery that surrounded him like the autumn mists. Why did he always insist on meeting her in the same place? Why didn't he want to meet her friends? Why wouldn't he ask her on a real date? Could she love a boy whose lips told her he loved her but whose eyes held secrets he refused to reveal? [text from book jacket]
