Blackout M J Schiller

Faith
I froze when I saw him. It had been years, and he'd changed his physical appearance, but there's no way I wouldn't recognize Eli. We share a bond forged in childhood trauma. But are we just two drowning people who will pull each other under the surface?
Max loves me and makes me happy. I wear his ring.
But there's no denying the pull Eli has on me.

Max
I had it all with Hope. She made me a better man.
Then I opened the door to find him on the other side. Eli. No way was I going to let him waltz back into her life and hurt her like he did in the past. Then again, it's not exactly my call.

Eli
Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about Faith. I probably don't even deserve another chance after all the pain I've caused her. But I have to try, don't I? What we had together...she changed my life. She saved me from myself. And I'm better now. I've made dramatic changes. But...what if I fail her again? Maybe the best thing I can do for her is walk away.

A blackout brought them together. A blackout tore them apart.
Three people at a table for two.
Who's the odd man out?
