In FIRST NIGHT, we met Maria, an overworked creative professional living in New York City, and Hunter, a Senate aide from Washington, D.C. when their lives crossed paths in Philadelphia on New Year's Eve. An awkward meet cute and an epic twenty-four-hour first date followed. She needed to save a beloved family tradition. He was all-in to help. Over the course of a day, sparks flew, and they fell hard for each other. It was the start of a fun new relationship.
Now, Maria and Hunter are eager and determined to see each other again as soon as their busy lives allow. Navigating an exciting new romance while living in separate cities will take a lot of work and planning. Convinced they can pull it off, they are excited to give it a go as soon as possible. Unfortunately, everything that can go wrong does. Mother Nature has whipped up a winter to remember and Murphy's Law may have an idea or two in store as well as they try for a SECOND CHANCE FOR A FIRST DATE.
Challenging situations and circumstances beyond their control makes it necessary for impromptu and creative ideas to be together. Miscommunication and mishaps follow. Fate may have brought these two together, but what will they have to do to keep their love story going? Can they pull it off? Some things just might be worth waiting for in this against all odds tale.
Carol Sabik-Jaffe is a multi-hyphenate Writer-Artist. She has been known to draw, paint, and as an Art Director, design things. Now, she designs with words and pictures as a writer, screenwriter, and an occasional Blogger. Several of her screenplays have won awards and she is ever hopeful that her work will get produced one day!
Her formative years were spent in Colts Neck, NJ. She now lives in the Philadelphia suburbs with her husband and a crazy rescue dog named, Enzo. She is a proud Mom of two creative and successful adults.
She is fond of romantic comedies and characters that are a little less than perfect. She is usually at work on numerous projects in various states of development or tossing a ball for Enzo (but, that's another story).
It was so nice catching up with this pair again. After weeks of miscommunication I am glad they finally managed to be is the same place at the same time. A lovely ending.
After an awkward meet cute and an epic twenty-four-hour first date, Maria and Hunter are eager to continue their fated romance as soon as possible. What could go wrong?
Mother Nature and Murphy's Law may have a thing or two to say as these two navigate their next date.
