Summary: Ten years have passed since they've last seen each other.
Ten years of burying the pain of a love lost.
Ten years of grudgingly continuing on with their lives.
Ten years later they find each other again and the ache of a long buried pain resurfaces as well as they're never-dying feelings for the other, causing their entire world to shake on its axis.
Edward and Bella now face a dilemma.
They realize that even after a decade apart, they are still very much in love with each other, stronger now than it ever was before, and decide to give their love a try.
Unfortunately for them, they are both married.
Through their guilt over betraying their spouses and their constant need for each other, Edward and Bella must not only keep their love a secret, but rely on each other when the arrival of someone unexpected threatens to ruin their private relationship.
What happens when Tanya and Jacob find out about their spouse's hidden relationship and the turn of events that threaten to uncover it? How will they react?
