<p>Eric:
I promised my mother I&#39;d never be with a man again, but then I met Austin...
But he&#39;s from a different world. He grew up with wealth, power, privilege.
I grew up with barely enough to eat, and a hard-working mother who pulled us up by her bootstraps.
Austin was born with a silver spoon in his mouth; how could I ever relate to a man like that?

Austin:
Every man I&#39;ve been with has let me down, but maybe Eric is different. He&#39;s kind, gentle, and great with his kids.
I don&#39;t care about Eric&#39;s background, or his dusky skin. I don&#39;t care what people might say, even less my family; they&#39;ve directed every aspect of my life — until now.
It&#39;s time for me to try again, one last time.
Maybe this time I&#39;ll find true love.
