Things get complicated though when things go south with her long-time boyfriend, Steven, a baseball player. Sadie yet again finds herself rebuilding her life, fortifying the walls around her heart as she goes. Hockey plater Colt Lawrence has spent his life coasting. Never feeling the strain of life and always having everything he ever wanted or needed...well, except for love.
