Plot Blurb: Everyone grows up. With growing up, comes change. Sometimes that change is not always expected or for the best. Frank and Nancy have become a couple, but when Nancy is lost to an accident, Frank refuses to allow Joe to help him grieve. When this finally pushes Joe away, both brothers start a new life - at opposite ends of the country. But what happens when Joe finds himself on a double date and finds himself face to face with Frank's lost love? Should he tell Frank? Or should he investigate why she is living under an assumed name in California?

Splash Page: Frank ran one hand through his dark hair. His eyes swept over the sea of waiting people, then stopped as he caught her gaze. His eyes took in the hair, now the same brown as his own, blue eyes, tentative smile...He felt his heart freeze as recognition settled in. This isn't possible! He thought. I'm seeing things! He watched the young woman rise and make her way through the crowd toward him. He took several steps in her direction, then stopped, allowing her to finish crossing the distance between them.

"Frank," she said softly, holding out her hand to him. "Thank you for coming I, uh, I don't know where to start. I need your help.

I mean, we do, Joe and I. We need your help. I mean..."

"Nancy?" he asked. "Oh my God, Nancy, is that you?".....
