Holton was always the one that got what he wanted. Women included. Until he found himself on the other end of a relationship of convenience. And after another heated fight with his gorgeous model girlfriend, he finds himself drunk in a local bar, and playing savoir to an ordinary girl that would never catch his eye normally, so he puts her in a cab and tries to forget her and her beautiful laugh.
Except he cannot forget her, and for weeks he secretly searches for her, only to find her on the arm of one of his best friends. As much as it stings, he desperately tries to just be her friend, which is easier said than done. And soon he finds that sometimes you really cannot choose who you fall in love with, but you can choose do the right thing, even if it means walking away for someone else's happiness.
