Roshi called Blair finally. Blair runs into Declan at the beach and he invites her over to see his place. He fixed up his house and she can take a look to get ideas for her house if she wants him to make some changes. After they go eat. He tells her about how his dad sued the driver who hit him b/c he had been drinking. With that money he bought his house and opened the coffee shop.

Blair is writing a book. Blair’s mom is struggling to juggle running the stores. Blair insists that her mom let her help with the work schedules. Declan comes to see Blair and shows her some plans he made for renovations she can make for her cottage Lottie left her.

Blair apologizes too for thinking Declan would be like her father and provide for her and then just leave. She was more worried about becoming like her mom than it was about Declan being like her dad. They both apologize and Blair has all her feelings rush back for Declan. She has always loved him. Even the 4 years they didn’t speak. She asks where do they go from here and Declan suggests being friends.

Declan had just won his championship game of senior year. They went to celebrate and he got hit by a car in the parking lot. He shattered his hip and leg. He would never be able to play football again. He was ashamed of their last fight offering to provide for Blair and now she would be right to have not trusted that. He wrote her a letter after she left for college apologizing but she never got it.

Blair can’t make her overtime shift. Declan asks why. Blair is meeting with a realtor to explore options for the house Lottie left her. Blair asks Declan if he wants to come look at the house. He does. The realtor tells Blair the house is worth a million dollars. She loses it. Declan helps get rid of the realtor. Blair is so overwhelmed that she calls Declan out for pushing her out of his life after his accident.

Blair goes bowling. Harper is drunk. Declan gets there and has her leave. Declan sits next to Blair. He asks if she will go out with Calvin. She will if he asks. Declan says he isn’t worth her time. Blair says he would know about that. Declan says she was always worth his time. Declan also finds out that Blair owns the house across from him and asks if she will stay in Seabrook now. She still wants to leave.

Blair’s mom tells her that Lottie left her the convenience stores, all 7, and the house. And she left Blair something too. A beautiful cottage house she rented out. They go look at it and find that Declan lives in the house across the street! Blair enjoys the mundane of working at the coffee shop. A guy Declan knows asks her for her number and she gives it to him. The team goes bowling after work.

Senior year. Blair got into 1 college w/ a full ride- Pepperdine. She studies economics and psychology. Declan got into his dream school- Notre Dame. Both schools are so far away. Declan mentions how long distance will be near impossible with his football schedule. He asks Blair to come with him and he will support her and her mom. Blair loses it. She won’t be like her mom relying on a man to care for her.

As the new employee, Blair is on the overtime night shifts with Declan! Faye calls Blair but only to talk about her frustration with her mom and doesn’t ask how Blair is doing with Lottie’s death. Declan and Blair have their first date. He has wanted to be with her since they were kids and same for Blair. But now they have to worry about college and what will happen if they go to different colleges.

Lottie’s funeral arrives. Declan comes. He & Blair speak for a little. He admits he has been Instagram following. The girl in the picture with Declan that Blair stocked was his cousin. During their senior year after winning a big football game Declan and Blair kiss. They admit they have liked each other the whole time. Declan declares that they won’t mess this up. But what happened to where they stopped talking?
