Emmi and Leo are back! Almost a year after his "escape" to Boston, Leo is back - and answers. And even though neither of them really wants it (or does he?), even though each has tried to set up his life without the other in the meantime, they become so close again so quickly that "I" and "you" become "we". Again. And this time they meet. But the first meeting is strange, the second leads to a fateful "palm touch", but that is by no means the end of their story... Six waves lap onto the shore, but the seventh holds a surprise.
