Tia I’ve been running to escape my past, the scars my father caused, and my mistakes for years. After my daughter’s biological father died, I took her and ran, leaving the only person who cared for me my best friend, Rocko. Before I left, he confessed his love for me and wanted to help raise my baby girl. He was an amazing football player and had a shot at going pro. I couldn’t ask him to give up those dreams for a child who wasn't his. I ran and didn’t look back. Years later, when I get a call that my mother is sick, I’m forced to go back and face my past. That’s where I see him. Everywhere. And this time, I’m not running. Rocko I live a simple life. I own a popular auto body shop in my small town that my brother Tommy and I inherited from our Pops. My future was all mapped out for me. The dream was to play pro football. Only it wasn’t my dream. My dream ran off when I was seventeen and took my heart with her. Since then, I could never settle down. I’m envious of my brother. He has a family. Wife and kids. Something I had only ever wanted with one woman. Now she’s back, and there’s no escaping her. I'm not letting her walk away this time. I am taking what has always been mine. Tia Kane.
