Cruel Summer

I don't think I knew where this story was going in the beginning but it ended up being kind of sweet. I think the whole "I can't love two people" got to me and hearing the words "I am not an experience for you to have" felt like a gut punch.
Sam is trying to deal with her husband asking for an open marriage- to see if there's more out there after settling down young and raising young kids. Sam doesn't want change and things aren't that bad. SO they agree to take the summer and Sam ends up on a road trip with a long time friend. In exploring her new situation, Logan and Sam end up discussing long time feelings and how it felt to squash those down in order to be where they were, but things can only stay squashed for so long.
