While my classmates were partying it up at football games and prom, I was dealing with ear infections and learning how to be the best kind of dad like my father was to me. I all but gave up on trusting a woman again and finding love as I had more important responsibilities: being a proud girl dad to Josie, helping my family out on their ranch, and starting my own construction business.

But we were young, and I was getting ready to leave for college with big plans for the future. I had no plans to return to our small town in Colorado anytime soon, and Ava never wanted to leave. That alone was enough to keep me away from her while we both grew up. And yet, I never forgot about her and what she means to me.

Um finanziell über die Runden zu kommen, springt sie bei Brendan Hegarty als Sprechstundenhilfe ein – und verflucht bald darauf ihre Entscheidung.
