But having just come to terms with the fact that she wanted Gabe in her life–in a romantic way–she wasn’t ready to lose something before she’d truly even found it. So, she did what she always advised her patients not to do: she repressed the emotion, or, at least, the acknowledgment of it.But as time passes, she finds herself opening up and letting love in for the first time in her adult life.

With Christmas fast approaching, and an impromptu trip to NYC, Maddy decides to tell Gabe the truth about how she feels...all of it. The fears, the doubts, the uncertainties, but most importantly, the love.Yet with the words ready to escape her lips, a phone call sends her in another tailspin, reeling into a world of grief and darkness, shattering her heart like she never thought possible. less
