Then Simon's twenty-eight-year-old self arrives from the future and convinces the younger Simon that Sarah is the woman he is meant to love. As Simon changes, he forgets Nina's needs, abandons her when she needs him most, and lets his future counterpart take her away. After surviving ninety-nine devastating punishments, Nina finally gives up on him and leaves for the UK to study. There she begins again and meets Adrian, a kind man with quiet strength. When Simon discovers Sarah's deception and learns that his older self ruined the wrong life, he races to win Nina back. But Nina has found love and confidence beyond him, and she will not surrender her future to him again.
