In this Tassanoxie short story, Serena and Ted share a common history because both have been dumped by their respective spouses. It's time for new beginnings, but neither one thinks a second chance at love is in the cards. Battered by divorce, their self-confidence concerning the opposite sex is at all time low. Fortunately, Ted's dog Mollie likes Serena, who visits the dog park even though she doesn't have a pet. When Mollie brings these two wounded souls together, will they accept the possibility of love?
