Veterinarian Piper is pragmatic enough to know her marriage wasn't working, which is why she left Dylan a year ago and pretends it hasn't hurt like hell every day since.
Then Dylan calls out of the blue and tells her to come right away for an animal emergency.
Piper arrives on the ranch that used to be her home to find her horse savagely killed.
She can't fathom what could have done it.
One thing, however, is obvious.
Piper still loves Dylan.
Dylan isn't over Piper, not by a long shot.
