There was only one thing that wasn't perfect about him, he refused to love anyone. One day, Ellie James walked into his life and he knew he liked her. So he asked her out, he took her first kiss, he took her virginity, they moved in together, and he took her heart. Ellie was in love and was unaware of Preston's refusal to love.

But to Ellie, that isn't good enough because she has long term plans for Preston. So she does what she can to get him to love her back. Is she successful?
