A chance meeting… When I attend a wedding to watch a former client marry the love of her life. I didn’t expect to find my own at the same time. It’s not like me to act impulsively.

As if to mock me, my career interrupted, ending what could have been with Ryland Jones. Or did it? …leads to forever. I’ve never been more thankful for my sister’s badgering.
