Welcome to Ransom, Texas, where the family ties bind and love runs hot. One of the juciest pieces of gossip around town is what’s happening at The Love Barn, Ransom’s new boutique wedding venue run by the Lively siblings. Word around the tea shop is that Scarlett Lively is getting awfully close to a jilted groom. Then there’s whatever is going on with Benji! We have it on good authority he’s not just teaching his high school crush to play the guitar. And then there’s Garth, who has been noticeably missing from happy hour at The Watering Hole. Will these three break the family curse? Or are they destined to repeat it?

"Like I said, you and Luna used to be close. I figured you might want that again. Besides, you haven't really lived until you've been to a Jones family fish fry these days." And I'd like to see you. He wanted to see that she was okay that this first week of freedom from her ex hadn't left marks.


"Can you give me twenty minutes?" she asked.


It was too bad Scarlett wasn't coming tonight. Eventually he'd like to see the whole gang back together again. Or at least the ones still living near town. If he'd learned anything from watching Scarlett get back on her feet, it was that the support system around her mattered.
