There comes a time when you have to decide whether to grow old and lonely or to let someone change how you see the world. 

I’ve always thought the first option would be less painful. 

Emmett

There’s something about this girl I just can’t shake. 

I’ve caged myself off since the day my wife passed years ago, only trusting a small handful of people in my life. Letting someone into my house and around my daughter is a huge step—especially when that person happens to be the sunshine girl I ghosted in the middle of the summer. 

She represents everything I don’t want to acknowledge and brings out a side of me I don’t recognize, but I need the help and she’s far from a stranger. 

But as time goes on I feel my resolve slipping, and I’m not quite sure what that means for me. 

Heidi

I never quite know what to expect from the quiet football player. 

It’s hard not to feel like life is passing me by as I spend half my days trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I’m 28-years-old and while my photography business is doing okay, it certainly isn’t doing well enough for me to move out of my friend’s house. 

So when I get a call from the quiet, moody linebacker I thought I would never hear from again, I jump at the chance to spend time nannying his daughter.

It’s clear she needs me, but it becomes far more clear as time goes on that her dad needs me too. 

I may not know my purpose in life, but I do know my purpose for the time being: Make Emmett Gardner enjoy life again, one step at a time. The only question is, when is it time to call a Blitz?
