Rhiannon has resigned herself to her fate--she will keep with her boyfriend, Justin, in spite of his distantness and temperament, keeping her head down, not being needy, never daring to hope for better. Then, one day, Justin seems to be a completely different person, really seeing her and loving her for the first time. The day after, he is back to his old ways. Confused, Rhiannon is shocked when a stranger tells her that the good Justin of that day was not really Justin at all.
