The opening introduces a group of friends enjoying summer at Severn Beach, highlighting Marjorie's relationships with Hal Macy and her other friends, which set the stage for the romantic tension and personal growth that will unfold throughout the narrative. At the start of the novel, the scene is vibrant and lively as Marjorie and her companions bask in a moonlit evening at the beach.
