-KAYLA CARTER- It’s a week before Christmas, but Kayla Carter has nothing to celebrate. No tree, no plans, and no family to speak of. And if that isn’t enough, her life is literally ripping apart at the seams. But this state of affairs is not new to Kayla. She is no stranger to life having its moments with her. But, at forty years old, she’s wondering why it is, that the universe is hell bent on dealing her a losing hand. With her vehicle newly repossessed, and an eviction notice pinned to her front door, Kayla knows it’s just a matter of time before she’ll be without a roof over her head, and searching for somewhere to go. But she has nowhere to go. Alone, in a world that is pulling no punches, defeat is singlehandedly, weighing Kayla down. And it all goes from bad to way worse, when a stranger shows up to drop off yet another piece of bad news… ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ -SILAS DANIELS- When Silas Daniels arrives at Kayla’s front door, he’s there only to bring a misrouted 48-hour disconnection notice, from the gas & electric company. It mistakenly got mixed in with his daughter’s mail and he’s just there, as a favor, to deliver. His intent is to hand the envelope off to its rightful owner, and be on his way. But when Kayla opens the door, it takes only a few seconds for Silas to see the pain inside her eyes. She’s hurting, and in his hands he holds something to twist the knife even further. He wants to help. She wants to be left alone. Silas wants to honor and respect Kayla’s wishes to be left alone. Yet, he has a moral dilemma to contend with. How can he walk away from her in her time of need? That’s not who he is. And that makes turning his back on her, something that he finds increasingly difficult to do. So what happens between these perfect strangers now? And more importantly, what happens when they realize that their chance meeting goes beyond a misrouted piece of mail. That they were destined to meet? It all begs to question … are there really such things as coincidences?
