Carrying a secret that would embarrass her family, Kirsten decides to move home where she knew she was loved. She knew her family would forgive and support her, but could she forgive herself. Life had been uncomplicated before George. Now, not only was her life messed up, but she felt guilty too. Wyatt was the most kind and considerate man she had ever known and he was obviously interested in her. She would have had to been dead not to notice the man that Wyatt had become. If Kirsten hadn't messed up, she might have considered dating him.

Wyatt remembered Kirsten from when they grew up together. It had been hard not to forget his first crush. When they were teenagers, she hadn't wanted anything to do with him other than to say "hi" to him at church. In high school, she had been part of the popular crowd and he had thought that she was out of his league. In Wyatt's eyes, Kirsten was still drop dead gorgeous even if her facial features and body language showed that something was weighing heavily on her mind. Now that they were working closely together, maybe she would actually see him and not the social status.
