Ben’s mother took her own life and Ben placed the blame on her at the time boyfriend who happened to be Fallon’s dad. He went to his house and one thing led to another, Ben started a house fire. He didn’t realise there was another person in the house. He lived with a massive secret and a lot of regret. On his mother’s anniversary of her death he visited her grave and Fallon’s dad was also there which led him to follow him right to that very restaurant. Years later Fallon reads the book Ben is writing which reveals the truth. It was hard for her but after reading his novel she found that she could be with him after all.Graphic: Terminal illness, Cancer, Body shaming, Death of parent, Fire/Fire injury, Gun violence, and Suicide
