Now it's fifteen years later and Travis is back. Only now, Gena owns the inn he's considering for his upcoming wedding. Despite their resolve to keep things impersonal, the past comes rushing back and feelings Gena thought long dead rise from the ashes. But there are other lives at stake now, including that of the child Travis once thought was a lie.
