   Then she loses her home, her husband dies, and, for the first time her life, she gets to make a choice for herself. She chooses escape.

   Stuck in Bree, Fallon gets a job at The Prancing Pony, content with her quiet life and the new-found freedom that comes with it. That is, until a certain Ranger enters her life.
