She's never gotten over that first love, instead devoting herself to her business. Meanwhile, his career is over, although not through any fault of his own.
BRIDGET
I've always had green thumbs, to the point I've now made a business out of it. The only thing I don't seem to be able to nurture, is love.
It wasn't always this way. Back in high school I'd had my pick of the boys, although there'd only ever been one for me, Jason Adams. Sadly he chose the army over us, something I've never forgiven him for. On bumping into him again after all these years, the wounds are as fresh as day.
JASON
I've been trained to hurt, but those days are over for me. Budget cuts have me leaving the army sooner than I'd have liked, sooner than I'd have thought possible.

Growing up an army brat, it was a given I'd enlist, and yet my baby brother beat me to it. Okay, so baby is a misnomer with Seth only the baby by half-an-hour and half-an-inch. It didn't matter that I was in love at the time; it had been my duty to protect him. I guess we all make mistakes, right?
