Already burdened with having to take care of her family, Scarlet now finds herself being forced to listen to the many reasons why her marriage failed. Said to be a woman with a heart made of black ice, the people in town believed their opinions would not affect her so they had no reason to stop voicing them.

Many were curious about the returned son regardless of whether they knew about the drama from years ago. Most just wanted to see who Scarlet was with now.
