Claire had closed herself off to love after being betrayed, but Daniel’s persistence made her question if she could trust again. Just as she was ready to take a chance, she saw him in the park with another woman and child, shattering her fragile hope.
Later, at the ice rink, Claire joined Daniel for what seemed like an innocent date, but her hurt fueled subtle acts of sabotage, culminating in a confrontation. She accused him of lying about having a family, but Daniel remained calm and asked her to let him explain.
At his home, Claire met Mia, a little girl who ran to Daniel calling him “Uncle Danny.” A woman, Laura, clarified that Daniel was her brother-in-law, helping raise Mia after her husband—Daniel’s brother—passed away. Claire realized her mistake and apologized.
As they left, Claire hesitated by the car and asked if they could start over. Daniel smiled, saying he had already fallen for her. For the first time in years, Claire felt a spark of hope and let herself believe in love again.
