Fireflies & Roman Candles

By Courtney Lawley

Some summer loves burn bright…

even when life pulls them apart.

Savannah Belle was just a teenager the first time she met Matt Turner—working long, hot nights at her aunt's roadside fireworks stand in a small Southern town. Between stacks of Roman candles, crackling two-way radios, and late-night drives down dusty backroads, something quietly took root between them.

It started on Channel Three.

It grew in stolen moments behind the fireworks stands.

And it burned like every spark lighting up those summer skies.

But life had other plans.

A railroad job carried Matt away.

Family rules silenced their late-night conversations.

Years passed, filled with distance, missed timing, and everything left unsaid.

Still… some connections never really fade.

From Waffle House nights and first kisses to unexpected reunions and one unforgettable night that changed everything, Fireflies & Roman Candles is a heartfelt Southern romance about first love, second chances, and the kind of "what if" that lingers long after the fire burns out.

Because even when the radios go quiet…

some signals never truly disappear
