It’s not like they were in contact; Tim had deserved a clean break.
But she had wondered.

She didn't expect that Tamara would be a new beginning for her, nor did she expect it to be a new beginning for her relationship with her former TO, who also seemed to care about the girl, but then, there's nothing in life that's expected, is there?
