Written in the Stars

Both Gio and Bess have very physical jobs that leaves them exhausted and energized at the same time.

They have been friends for awhile.  Neither have ever crossed the line into boyfriend/girlfriend status.  But they were tempted.

Bess appears as though she has it all together.  She has a secret.  This secret makes her feel  disappointed and ashamed. 

Gio's secret makes him feel on edge.  He is always expecting the worse.  He is hard on himself as well as his mother.

Both have much to learn about asking for help and accepting it.

Gio sounds pretty hot to me in his fireman uniform.  I think he must be hard to resist. But Bess keeps him at a distance until it is impossible for her to fo so anymore.  And the sparks fly as if is "Written in the Stars".
