Like any good story, this one starts with a funeral.
Chris's girlfriend, Mindy Forino, went missing six years ago.
Well, maybe "went missing" isn't the best way of phrasing it. She ran away. Just as her relationship with Chris was finally getting to blossom in the way they'd both always wanted it to. After an unexpected and ugly tragedy, Mindy left a letter that very vaguely explained that she "had to leave," and that was that. No one knew where she was, or if she was even alive, for six years. There were rumors as to why she left, mostly having to do with the fact that her last boyfriend before Chris had wound up dead in a ditch, but Chris knew Mindy, and knew that there had to be some other reason as to why she'd left. He just wished that she could have told him, and that he could have helped her.
So imagine Chris's surprise when, after all those years of being bitter at Mindy's disappearance, she shows up back in town for her father's funeral - and she isn't alone, walking into the funeral with a little girl at her side. Now it would seem that Mindy would be back in town permanently, taking over the bookstore her father had run when he was alive. It doesn't take long for Chris to remember just how in love with her he was when she disappeared, and he soon makes it his mission to find out why she'd left, why she was still being so secretive, and if the two of them would ever be able to find love with each other again.

I started, crossing my arms and narrowing my eyes slightly. "And that is something everyone has noticed, recently. Especially Chris." "Congratulations," His voice dripped with sarcasm. "You managed to figure that out. I'm proud of you!" He clapped with mock enthusiasm. Digging my nails into my biceps to keep from slapping that stupid look off his face, I continued. "Chris wants us to try to get along." "Yeah, we'll see how that brilliant plan works out." He rolled his eyes, turning to walk away. "F.cker." I spat hatefully. "B.tch." He spat back, whipping his head around to glare at me. I glared right back. F.ck, I hate him. ~ Cast: Chrissy Costanza as Mykailla Bates. (A couple years younger) Daren Kagasoff as Michael "Micah" Bates.

As the Darkness Approaches the Light
The new year is often seen as a new beginning, a new start. Chris didn't typically see it this way, that was until he met a girl at a New Years Eve party that would come to change his life. Caroline was just like everyone else, she WANTED to be just like everyone else, but there was something about her that made Chris tick, that made him crave her touch, even if it was just her hand in his. Caroline was blind. Only a small percentage of those legally considered blind are COMPLETELY blind, but Caroline fell into that category. Maybe it was Caroline's optimistic outlook on life and the world despite being blind that made Chris fall in love with her. Maybe it was her bravery, her resilience, her independence, her independence - or maybe it was a combination of all of it. All Chris knew was that she was the one for him, and he'd have to do everything in his power to show Caroline that she could trust him and let herself fall in love with him too.Complete
