   Summary

   Jesse Van Horn thought having an uncomplicated life was what he wanted after he escaped old ghosts, until he found the time to get to know Frank Langdon who thought his own life was over. What started out as helping a friend back on his feet turned to realizing that his own life also didn't have to stop at his past mistakes. Frank helps Jesse realize that he's allowed to want more in life, that he can open his heart again, and that he should start taking his own advice.
