Casey is happy when her parents divorce and later encourages her mom to find love. When her 45-year-old mom gets engaged to Aaron, a 25-year-old pastry chef, Casey is alarmed and suspects he’s after money.
She investigates, finds documents showing Aaron’s debt and property in her mom’s name, and storms the wedding to expose him. But the truth shocks her—Aaron and her mom were secretly buying Casey a restaurant, fulfilling her dream, and the debt came from that purchase.
Realizing her mistake, Casey apologizes, but the damage is done. Though hurt, her mom allows her to stay, leaving Casey to face the consequences of her mistrust.
