Allen was the man of Hayley's dreams. They were together for fourteen perfect years before she woke with him cold in her arms. Nothing was the same after that, and the only way Hayley learned to cope was by throwing herself into her business and ensuring her teenage son, Liam, was set for his last years of high school and life afterward.Everything since Allen's death has been the same monotonous chores every day, until Hayley meets Whitley, who peels her off the asphalt when she falls during a run. To show her thanks, she invites him and his friend Casey to dinner. Hayley is drawn to both of them, but Casey is dying, and Hayley is struggling to reconcile her feelings for him and Whitley. What started as an unlikely friendship turned into something more, something deeper, and something that wouldn't be wholly understood in 'polite' society.
