has lost the only person who
has ever truly loved her
and the man who would be her only family.

Howie Dorough
loves Kate, but can't convince
her to come back. 
  He struggles every day to learn to live without her.

AJ McLean
not only loves Kate, but
must live with the knowledge that
he can never have her. 

When Lita calls Howie desperately in the middle of the night as Kate's life hangs by a thread, he runs to her with his heart in his hands.  He finds she is unable to accept his touch or his help. 

He turns to AJ, the only other
man who might possibly reach her, knowing that AJ may not give her back. 
Howie risks it all for a chance
for her to live. 

AJ grasps the opportunity given to him by the Fates to right all the wrongs he has done.  He does this knowing that Howie and Kate will gain everything that he loses.
