Quote:How can I trust him not to break my heart again?

MICHAEL
I fell in love with Fallon when I first saw her in Mr. Vandeboe's class in our junior year. I knew she was destined to be mine. But a year after we graduated from East Tennessee State, she had our wedding all planned- and it made me want to break out in hives. I loved Fallon, but I felt trapped. Spending my life with her was too big of a step, but how could I get out of it without breaking her heart? The answer is-I can't, and then I make the worst mistake of my life.

FALLON
I fell in love with Michael the night of our senior prom, when he took my innocence. He showed me a world filled with care, love and passion that took me to the stars. I knew after college all our dreams would come true. We'd go back home to Jasper Creek and start a family. Then one gut-wrenching moment turned joy into ash. Devastated by his betrayal, I ran away the day before our wedding.

Now I'm a different woman. I came back to Jasper Creek to help my mom take care of my dying father. The town considers me a pariah for leaving the golden boy at the altar, but I don't care. Michael and I know the truth, and that's enough. So why in the hell is Michael following me around town, insisting he wants another chance? Has he lost his mind? Worse-why does my foolish heart want to give him that second chance?
