Him



…I need time. Time to heal those wings and learn to use them…



Was part of the letter Rebecca Trent, Daniel Brightmore's fiancée and best friend left when she ran away. The person he trusted the most for the past decade disappeared without giving him a second glance. She taught him how to love, believe in family and that everyone deserves a happily ever after. Now he's struggling between wiping any traces of her from his life and drowning his sorrows away with the help of his new best friends -- Don Julio and Jack Daniels.



Her



Rebecca's past suffocated her to the point of not wanting to continue, her lifeline and the only reason to live began to withdraw from her. She wished it had been her imagination, but heard it loud and clear: “If not, there's always a divorce, nothing is forever.” This time it became a leave or die situation. Something has got to change -- she had to change. Packing light and leaving a letter behind, she takes a journey that can help her find herself through the shards of her painful childhood.



As letters, memories and stories are exchanged, two once inseparable people reconcile what's left of their relationship. Beyond the confines of everything they built together, they're left with two lonely people searching for what it means to be whole. Will they find meaning under their bruised psyches or will their pasts get the better of them?
