On Valentine’s Day, two strangers with broken hearts find themselves seated across from each other at a crowded restaurant Novel – “So, Megan…what’s up with you and your boyfriend?” Shane asked. “I mean…who would ditch you on Valentine’s Day?” “I guess I thought he would change,” I admitted.

Shane Larson, a fitness instructor with a carefree demeanor, just received a text from his girlfriend canceling their date. Neither expected the evening to lead to laughter, connection, and a hint of something more. But life is messy, and their timing isn’t perfect.
