Ten years ago Amy Taylor ran out on her boyfriend, Jeremy Austin, without explanation and she prayed never to lay eyes on him again. They pledged their undying love for each other and planned to marry once they were old enough. But Amy was forced into a heartbreaking decision and unable to face him, she walked away, never explaining why. Over the years, she moved on, got married, and got divorced. Now she is working two jobs and struggling to make ends meet as a single mother. One of those jobs is in her friend's restaurant, Lou's. Post-pandemic Valentine's Day is a crazy night Amy is working a busy shift when Jeremy enters Lou's with a beautiful woman on his arm. One thing Amy has learned as a waitress is how to pivot and fast. Since he's here, she figures, why not set the record straight? Can she win him back or is he lost to her forever? Jeremy Austin has brought his long-time girlfriend, Maggie, for a romantic dinner at Lou's. They've endured a one-year separation because of the pandemic quarantine, and he wants to jumpstart their relationship. Stunned is not the word for it when he glances up from his menu to see Amy Taylor, the one woman he's never been able to shift from his heart, standing in front of him, ready to take his order.

Then, things go from stunning to bizarre when she slips him a three-word note. Can we talk? Below is her phone number. Talk about what a fool he was. He drops the note into his wallet determined to ignore it. But Jeremy finds he cannot walk away from her even now and comes back after the restaurant closes. Perhaps he will finally get the explanation he's always craved. Then, he can do to her what she did to him: leave her in the lurch, heartbroken and always wondering why. But Jeremy never figured on two things: Falling back in love with Amy Taylor and falling in love with her son. Amy knew she was taking a chance, but she had no idea what forces she would unleash. Jeremy knew he should walk away but the need for an explanation burned deep.
