Still a grieving widower, Elijah has turned to devoting his life to building his business. A high-ranking entrepreneur, he has been able to provide for his family since the beginning. He is smart, loyal and quite the romantic, but can be very close-minded. Reeling from a kiss they share, Elijah plans to go out of his way to prove to Anya how wrong their relationship is. However, as he begins to notice a change in his view of her, he no longer sees his daughter's best friend as a child he used to babysit.

Bubbly and energetic; this could be down to the fact Emily is a sugar addict. Consuming bar upon bar of candy at lunchtime in school, she's rebelling against her father's strict healthy lifestyle and teachings. She is beautiful, mature for her age and studies on the regular, wishing to enroll in Yale in the following year. Before now, boys never interested her and the one she sets her sights on has eyes for somebody else. Because of this, her grades begin to suffer. Anya and Elijah worry that, if their forbidden relationship becomes public knowledge, Emily will be broken. So, maybe it's best keeping some secrets from the people you love.
