Lorraine spent five years loving Julian, taking whatever place he left open for her, including the one no one was supposed to see. Then she walked in on his proposal to Fayra and understood exactly what she had been to him.
Instead of confronting him, Lorraine does the one thing he never planned for: she says yes to someone else and starts planning a wedding of her own. Julian hears about it secondhand, and the woman he kept in the shadows becomes the one he can't stop chasing. Lorraine has to hold her ground while he works through denial, regret, and the slow realization that his five years of convenience were her five years of devotion. Whether she lets him back in is the question she now gets to answer.
