I loved watching Drew fight the inevitable at the beginning. Dillon had made up his mind that Josselyn was perfect and he was determined to get them together. Once Drew decided that he wanted to get to know Josselyn better, he was off and running. There were some terrific scenes of the three of them together, such as when they all went fishing. Drew also realized that he wanted to spend time alone with her. The biggest problem was that he was still fighting the guilt he felt over his wife's death, blaming himself for what had happened. He was also afraid to love again because that meant he risked losing also. Meanwhile, Josselyn fell fast and hard for Drew and Dillon. She, too, was fighting against telling Drew how she felt. She was afraid that he was still in love with his late wife and would reject her love. Just when it looked like Dillon was going to get his wish, something happened that brought all of Drew's fears rushing back. I ached for Josselyn as Drew ran from his feelings, leaving her heartbroken. I also hurt for Dillon, who saw his dad revert to the grumpy, withdrawn man he used to be. It took a scare caused by a heartfelt note from Dillon for Drew to realize what he was throwing away. I loved his big moment at the end as he finally let go of his fears. The location and witnesses to his declaration were a nice touch. ( )
