Innocent, pretty, kind, and compassionate were the fitting descriptions for Karen Barger. She had been living her perfect life until it had begun to crumble at a time she least expected it. To seek comfort, she returns to Atlanta, her home, and unbeknownst to her, another piece of her world crumbles in New York. Along with her two friends in Atlanta, Karen’s life will be on a roller coaster, and she will experience raw, vulnerable, and intense emotions like never before. Determined to honour the vows of her closest people, Karen will go to the extreme ends to ensure they are happy. However, one by one, dark, buried secrets will be out in the open, leaving Karen over in the head after the realization that those she sacrificed everything for were not worth the efforts. Will she rise beyond the spiral of betrayals and vengeance, or will she succumb to them?

Here We Go Again

When they were done, they lay beside each other, each lost in their own thoughts. 

Arnold gave Val a forehead kiss, got down from beside her, and found his way to the bathroom, where he freshened up. 

When he got back to Val, he found she had dressed up and was sited, holding her knees near her chest. She had a distant look on her face, and she was also sniffling softly, making her look so vulnerable.

Val shook her head violently but did not utter a word. 

"I… don't…know what this means for us," she managed to say between hiccups, and Arnold turned away, cleared his throat, then asked, "What do you want it to mean?"
