Despite her resolution to stay out of his way, Hallie can't help the pull she feels toward him and his daughter. Soon, it's like she never left at all.Just when Hallie and Gabe think they can skate by as friends, a rumour about them spreads through town, and the two agree to a temporary arrangement.
