Chi came to Strawberry Sands to escape her past.
Because, despite his tough persona, his heart can\'t handle another rejection.
And he has to do all that without allowing her to see how much he loves her.
Simple.
Now all he has to do is convince her that appearances aren\'t everything, the past is under the blood, and it\'s what in her heart that matters.
So far so good.
Regardless, he was There to save her from herself, and to his surprise, she held on tight as he rode away.
Maybe that\'s why he followed her to Blueberry Beach when she chased the fancy lawyer.
Griff has done his share of things he regrets, and he can see the signs of self-destruction loud and clear in Chi.
And Chi is far from a heroine.
Almost like a heroine in a fairy tale, except her life is anything but a fairy tale.
She might have done more to embarrass herself, but Griff, her co-worker showed up on his bike and whisked her away.
At a big gala she wasn\'t supposed to attend, she discovers the lawyer is not only cheating on her, but married as well.
It will prove she\'s not as worthless as she feels.
Maybe that\'s why she\'s so eager to catch the eye of the big-name lawyer who hangs out at her diner.
There were a lot of things to be ashamed of there.
