An office romance.
Gabriella has built a new life after divorcing her possessive, alcoholic husband. He was the only man who ever paid attention to her. Though scared, she finally broke away from him. Now she has a new apartment and job. When Gabriella discovered that one of her new coworkers was her high school classmate, Emily, she felt relieved.
Though Emily made Gabriella feel welcome, her new boss, Gray, did not. He was very strict about training and drove Gabriella crazy. No one knew much about his personal life at all. When Gabriella didn't think she would ever be in another relationship, another coworker, Garrett, entered her life. Despite her mixed feelings towards him and lack of self-confidence, Gabriella was persuaded to give Garrett a chance.
Gabriella eventually decided it was time to move on from her ex-husband. Thanks to her new coworkers, she later realized she was worth more than she initially thought.
