Too embarrassed to return home, Steph hopes to earn enough  to get by until she can decide what to do next. Tea Shop owner Milly  Jewel hires her and appreciates the extra help at the tea shop.       Also appreciative of Steph is Kendall James, one of the kindest, most  eligible bachelors in the area. But by the time Steph feels able to  consider dating again, her run-away fianc\u00e9 returns and tries to win her  back. Steph is wary, but she and Rick always blended so well.       Christie Burnham, the frank-talking equestrian from whom Steph rents a  room, and her frillier sister Liz become fast friends and confidantes to  Steph.
