"Troy wants you, Christy, but he doesn't need you. I need you!" Had those words been spoken by anyone other than Jack, Christine Sanford would've written it off as a bad joke and would've never allowed them to affect her so dramatically. He was her first love and truth be told her only love. But he had proven himself untrustworthy when she discovered that he had cheated on her. Regardless of his claims of innocence, she couldn't bring herself to trust him again. He meant what he said. Jack Jordan could never have foreseen falling in love with his childhood friend Christine.

Christine had considered this very question throughout the last twenty-four years, especially over the past two or three years. She answered Jennifer very slowly as if to think through each word she spoke. "...
