But the weekends away, the sweet nothings whispered in her ear, and the secret rendezvous at work functions all got to her. He was her biggest weakness, and she would do anything he asked. But then he started pulling away. It got worse when the new intern, Chelsea, was promoted. Her revealing clothes and flirtatious nature made Kate instantly dislike her, and M seemed to need Kate less and less. And then the unthinkable happened. It wasn’t just that she’d woken up alone the morning after telling M she loved him or that he hadn’t even texted her in the days after. No. It was M kissing Chelsea on New Year’s Eve. Kate struggles to forget the past, tries to get over M, but she can’t get him out of her head. She moves away, starts a new life, but nothing seems to work. She finally sees a glimmer of hope when she meets a handsome new man on her way to her sister’s wedding. But when M re-enters her life she needs to make a choice: keep pining after M or move on with her life.
