But at Alexis's orthodontist's appointment, Claire meets Dr. David Clark. David is a divorcee of three years, who hasn't moved on since his wife left him.

And Claire can't stay. Can they find a way to move past the challenges of grief, overcome past mistakes, and find a way to their happily ever after?
