Arbor Vitae
Even when you're not expecting it, love can find you. Sometimes the flames of passion can ignite so quickly that all of the impediments can seem immaterial. They're not. Overcoming gaps in age, sexual orientation, social status, and familial expectations is daunting for any couple. But if it's right, love can find a way.
Abby Graham is not looking for love as she approaches her fortieth birthday. Widowed for nearly five years, she's merely trying to get comfortable with her life as it is. One of her tactics is to count her blessings, and she acknowledges that she's been blessed with almost too many to name. But she still feels on shaky ground. Taking on a project seems like a good way to focus on something other than her loneliness, so she decides to find a landscape architect who can spruce up her backyard. It's a pretty minor task, but she's hoping that adding something to her tranquil space might give her some pleasure.
After finding Clancy O'Connor, a high-spirited woman who's trying to build her business, they start to make plans. But Clancy's plans include daydreaming about her new client almost as much as the wall she's designing.
As Abby reveals more of herself during their many hours of consultation, the connection between them begins to spark. After an evening of small intimacies and shared dreams, they find themselves unable to resist their mutual desire. Although Abby has her doubts about the future, she and Clancy embark on a torrid love affair. But all too soon a threat develops that could destroy the tentative bond that is drawing them inexorably together.
