As her beloved husband gradually loses his memories, Evelyn wonders if it's too late to beg his forgiveness for what happened.When Lawrence Paisley, a man skilled at ferreting out the truth of a mission, moves to the same assisted living facility as Evelyn, will her secret be exposed before she can tell her husband? Or will Lawrence's own desire for secrecy be thwarted first by Ruby's nose for news?
