Adam and Lucy's story was really interesting!
A year or so ago, Adam and Lucy separated after getting married years ago after being high school sweethearts. Adam wasn't entirely sure why Lucy walked out, but he didn't take it well. After all this time, Lucy suddenly sees Adam and approaches him as if they haven't been separated for a year and no one knows how to react to this.
After further investigation, it is revealed that Lucy suffered an accident and has amnesia so she believes that she and Adam are still together and doesn't remember when or why she walked out. Even though she moved away a bit ago, she decided to stay with Adam in hopes to bringing back more memories. Adam helps Lucy in all the ways he can, but he also has his guard up because she already broke his heart once and until she remembers why she left him the first time, Adam doesn't want to get too close.
As time goes on, Lucy starts remembering bits and pieces of her past with Adam but she can't quite remember why she would leave. As she and Adam spend more time together, it is like they are falling in love with each other all over again. They need to decide if they want to keep each other at a distance or take the risk of starting over with these new versions of themselves. Eventually, with some help, Lucy does remember why she left and confides in Adam about the situation instead of just walking away.
Watching Adam and Lucy fall in love all over again with the new version of each other was so sweet. Despite holding his cards close to his chest, you could still see how much Adam loved and cared for Lucy. He wanted to help her, but he also wanted to keep his heart safe. I also loved watching Lucy rediscover herself. She was becoming a new woman, and seeing her embrace that was honestly amazing.
Overall, such a fun time and I am looking forward to continuing with the Greene family.
