Christie's Secret Past and Second Chance at Love with Her Childhood Crush The final part to the story form Christie's perspective. Not long after Christie’s relationship with Eddie imploded, Hailey called her with exciting news. The guy she had met the previous year wanted to make their relationship exclusive. Hailey was sure that she had found her future husband. Christie was pleased for her, but at the same time felt a slight twinge of envy.
