Lives Entangled

A week away for Rachel.
A week alone for Chad.
An auction sale and a new beginning.

Sometimes a little distance brings clarity. Other times, it changes everything.

Overwhelmed by uncertainty and a relationship moving faster than she's comfortable with, Rachel takes a week-long vacation with her mother. She hopes the time away will help her sort through her feelings and decide what she really wants.

But while Rachel is away, Chad gives in to temptation, making choices that threaten everything they've been building together.

When Rachel returns home, she discovers the chaos left behind. Hurt and disappointed, she must face some difficult truths about the people she thought she could trust.

Through it all, Joe remains a loyal friend.

Hoping to take her mind off recent events, he invites Rachel to spend the day with him at a cattle auction, where the outing includes greasy burgers, fries, and a welcome break from her troubles.

When Joe's parents come to visit, they notice something in his relationship with Rachel that she hasn't quite recognized herself. A little encouragement leaves her questioning her choices and wondering whether she's been overlooking what's been right in front of her.

Sometimes the person who's always been there is the one worth seeing in a whole new light.
