Katie's first love was writing poetry. Katie's second love was Matt. She quit her previous job to pursue her passion for writing, but with thoughts of assuming her work wasn't good enough, she gave up and began a new job at the cafe in town. This is where she meets a regular customer named Brayden, who she finds out had a recent tragic event that later becomes a story she can relate to herself. After hearing his story, it causes her to appreciate even more that she has Matt, and it also begins to give her some inspiration to write again.

Katie and Matt decide on their tenth anniversary of being together that they want to finally get married. They never wanted to be pressured into getting married, especially by Katie's parents. After Matt suggests eloping, Katie agrees that it would be for the best, and this causes even more tension between Katie and her mother. Only a month after tying the knot, a devastating accident happens that takes Matt's life. This turns Katie's world completely upside down. She stops writing again, quits her job at the cafe, closes herself off, and is lost and lonely. She was always convinced that if anything were to ever happen to Matt, that she would never be able to love someone else again. After reconnecting with Brayden months later, those doubts seem to change.

Can Katie find the motivation and inspiration to write again and to find a way to rebuild the long-lost relationship with her family? Will she be able to open her heart up again to find love after him, possibly with Brayden? Or will she remain to stay true to Matt the rest of her life and continue to be alone?
