One chance to start over, to leave all the pain behind, to pack up my life and head East with the cruelest man alive. How hard could that be? I had nothing to leave.
Besides Tamara.
Tamara? The only person that's ever given Nick sympathy. But sympathy is the last thing he wants, right behind the fact of having another girl in his life. So immediately, Nick resents her passion and spirit, and well, frankly resents her being. It's hard to change the mind of someone who has seen everything, including abuse and suicide. He's independent, and he has no reason to put his trust in a strange blonde girl. He gets his chance as a writer, and his life begins all over again. He's back in control, but Tamara will stop at nothing to prove she isn't just another girl, no matter what it takes. She knows Nick can change her life, if only Nick would realize she could change his too.
