A disgruntled Gabby leaves and Stephanie, Travis' younger sister who had been listening from the house, is quick to suggest that her big brother finds the new neighbor attractive.įrom this contentious beginning, part one of the book follows the growing attraction of the two characters as they try to resist the natural chemistry between them. Unable to get a word in edge-wise, Travis lets Gabby have her say, and then suggests she take Molly to the local veterinarian. Already harboring an unflattering view of Travis, thinking him inconsiderate and irresponsible after she hears his music playing loudly and she gets knocked down by his dog, Gabby lets loose with an emotional rant. Unfortunately, Travis' first introduction to Gabby is when she marches over to his house and accuses his dog, Moby, of getting her dog, Molly, pregnant. Into this idyllic life marches Gabby Holland, a physician's assistant who has moved to the town to be closer to her boyfriend, Kevin, and who is now living right next door to Travis. The group often wonders if Travis has commitment issues, but he feels he simply hasn't met the right person yet.

In part one of the novel, the story flashes back to May of 1996 when Travis was thirty-two and living and working happily in his hometown of Beaufort, North Carolina (where the story takes place,) spending time with his childhood friends Matt, Joe, and Laird.
