Alison was working at a beach resort when Rick visited his brother, Joe, at his vacation cottage. There was a full moon during Rick's stay, and on such nights the resort restaurant hosts a beach party. Alison saw Rick and fell for him right away, so she was disappointed when he went back to Missouri. What she didn't know was he had gotten her number from Joe, and after a few phone calls, Rick was calling to set up a trip to see her.
