Goodbye, Hello

Kelly's world collapsed when her father died. They had been very close and now she's lost. How is she supposed to rebuild her relationship with her mother without someone to facilitate their conversation? But her grief takes a back seat when the unexpected happens the day of her father's funeral.
When Teresa got the assignment to write up the obituary for Mr. Matheson, it brought back so many memories of when she had dated Kelly in high school. They had ended awkwardly, and, ready to apologize for how she had acted back then, she goes to the funeral to see her again.
The spark is still there, but Kelly and Teresa aren't convinced their reconnection will lead to a forever romance. With so much time apart, all the ways they've changed since high school, and the challenges of a long-distance relationship, their second chance at love may end just as disastrously as the first.
