She gets a job at a small bookstore downtown and lived in an ally until she made enough money to afford an apartment. Then Louis surprises her by telling her that he is coming to visit her. It has been 4 years. Madelyn changed. Louis is still the same cheeky guy he usually is. Will Louis notice anything?
