Now, eighteen years later, Gavin arrives at the Abbey to escort Ella home to pay her respects to her dying mother. While Ella has spent the last two decades trying to bury her hurt and feelings, seeing Gavin again is mixing her up inside. Beneath the unflattering nun’s habit, Gavin can see the beauty of the woman he once loved, and longs to know her again.
