If Clarice Morgan's past isn't haunting her, she probably wouldn't be pleading with Tristan Penn to stay with her. Her biggest fear is losing someone she cares about. She's already lost one forever, leaving behind a mountain of memories. So, when she meets and falls in love with Tristan, she wants him to stay with her because he gives her the ability to see into the future. Unfortunately, Clarice's wishes do not always match her current circumstances. In the middle of the time, she meets Joel Archer's older brother, Joshua Rich Archer, the Billionaire who has everything in his hands. He shows up with a confession he has kept to himself for years; he admits to Clarice, much to her surprise, that he likes her and would like to propose marriage to her. It's an offer she can't refuse; she must accept it even though she doesn't love Joshua, which means she must leave Tristan.
