Katerina thinks the fairy tale she never expected has arrived when Trent goes down on one knee.
Then she learns he found a positive pregnancy test that was not hers and offered the ring out of duty.
Heartbroken, she runs, even as he looks at her like she is his whole world and refuses to let her go.
Trent did not merely jump to conclusions; he mourned a child that was never theirs and spent months facing every way he failed her.
Now he means to set obligation aside and earn her trust from the ground up in their small town, one hard-won step at a time.
