World's Apart

In their late twenties and early thirties, Samantha Hanmore (Sam) and Edward Witford (Ed) found themselves as star-crossed lovers. Samantha's parents consisted of an understanding mother and an overbearing, overprotective father who believed in controlling everyone and everything around him. However, it was through the efforts of their friends that Edward and Samantha were brought together.

Their courtship progressed at a rapid pace, almost as if they were trying to make up for lost time from a past life or lives. The whirlwind nature of their relationship reflected their eagerness to embrace their newfound love and create a future together.
