I can't need you; I just can't. If you are the rock I stand on, If you are the air that I breathe, if you are the water I drink, then I'm going to be a shell, empty and dry once you are gone. The walls I spent years building would crumble, and it would leave me defenseless. If I need you, If I can't be without you, then I will cease to exist when you inevitably leave. I closed myself off and built walls so high birds couldn't fly over. Then you came along with your stupidly handsome smile and intoxicating eyes. With each stupid jokes and flirty remark, you left a crack in my wall. Crack by crack, you broke down my wall till all that laid was dust. Now that I'm yours, are you ready to keep me? Now that you no longer have to chase, are you willing to stay?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
