Winter's Vow

A year on from when they first met, Dylan and Merry are madly in love.

Merry has moved to Starling Bay, and taken on a less pressured job that allows her more time with Chloe.

Dylan's business is flourishing, and with Merry and Chloe, his life feels complete.

Life is wonderful.

But Merry has a yearning for more. She longs for a family, for a sibling for Chloe.

Dylan has similar ideas. He sees a glimmer of a new future with Merry and he wants to make bold moves. Yet he is aware that the end of the year brings back bad memories for Merry.

He is prepared to wait and bide his time, but Merry believes he's afraid of making a commitment.
