He cannot imagine a future now so altered from what he expected, until fate chances to reunite him with Emma and the pair are thrust together at a Valentine's Ball thrown by her friend. He is determined his old friend will not be the only young lady not to receive a valentine, but when his efforts are mistaken for the work of a meddling friend will he confess the truth and win Emma for his own?
