Slow Dancing in the Darkness

Moving around was not something which was unfamiliar to Gabriela

In the 2 years since her divorce, she has moved 4 times just to satisfy the clause in the agreement that guarantees support for her son from her ex.

Move number 5 sees her land in Barcelona where, after a small mishap, she encounters a certain argentine who leaves her smitten, something she hasn't felt in a long time.

Lionel is charming, he's funny and sweet, and after Elliot, he is a breath of fresh air for Gabriela who has been looking for the chance to move on since the day Elliot signed his name on the dotted line of their divorce papers.

With a 4-year-old son and an ex husband in tow, can Gabriela and Lionel make something work between them?

Will Gabriela hang around long enough to find out if they really have something?
