I've gotta say, I LOVED the relationship between Reena and Sawyer. Their families were friends and business partners, and they'd known each other for as long as they can remember, but Reena's love for Sawyer was one-sided in the beginning. Their relationship was certainly disfunctional and messy when they got together in the Before, where they're haunted by a mutual personal tragedy that occurred around the same time that their relationship started. Sawyer, however, has ISSUES - he's a bit of a cliched tortured musician type. The relationship doesn't last long before he disappears, unknowingly leaving Reena pregnant in the process. In the After, it's about Sawyer trying to make amends and Reena trying to work out how she feels and what's best for her little family - her current, stable partner, or Sawyer? I won't give away the ending, but I was certainly pulling for Sawyer!
