Everything You Want — Sarah Bates

With hers and her brother, Parker's, joint birthday party, the opening of the long awaited Conservation Center, and her brother, Davis', wedding all on the horizon, Lorelai Stevens knows she's got a busy summer ahead of her. There's just one thing that's keeping it from being the best summer yet â€" and that would be her boyfriend, Rufus Stone.They've been together for over a year now, but as she watches other relationships around them bloom, theirs only becomes more stagnant. His ever present â€" and ever persistent â€" best friend, Meg, doesn't help their current situation any, either.And then there's Tucker, a family friend from New Orleans, who's not exactly subtle in expressing his own interest, and intentions, concerning her. There's just something about him that tugs at her, too, something she never quite expected, and as her summer progresses she learns that sometimes when you think you have everything you want, you learn that there can be so much more.
