However, her life takes a somewhat unexpected twist when she meets Joe at a party. Could he be the one she’s looking for? It’s looking likely. That is, until he confesses something that puts an end to any hope of marriage or a future together. But Lucy still likes him. She knows what she must do – but is she prepared to let him go?
