The story depicts her memories of a man named Alec, whom she loved but lost, while in the present she encounters a man named Rocky at a dance. As she recalls how Alec was groomed for success and intellectual achievement, she realizes that despite her feelings for him, their paths have diverged, and she must confront whether she can truly move forward with someone new.
When Toni's best friend Linda gets her heart broken by Rocky Barton—Lincoln High's notorious love-'em-and-leave-'em charmer—Toni hatches a revenge plot: she'll make him fall for her, then dump him the way he's dumped so many others. But as the scheme unfolds over weeks of dates and declarations, Toni discovers something she didn't expect: her own feelings might be just as real as the heartbreak she's trying to inflict.
Norma has long carried a torch for Alec, though she ended their romance years ago to spare him the burden of a wife and family when his ambitious mother had already mapped out his future in the State Department. Now, as a young woman pursuing her own education and career, Norma gets an unexpected chance to see Alec again in Paris—and discovers that he never stopped loving her either. What unfolds when these two reunite after all this time will test whether their memory of joy can become something real.
