He wanted her, but not her love.

Through her work at the crisis center, Jolian met and fell in love with Fletcher McKay. She was the only link between Fletch and his runaway son. So for the moment he needed her. But, by his own admission, Fletch ultimately needed nothing -- and no one.

Jolian knew that someday, perhaps once he'd found his son, Fletch would walk out on her and never look back. He'd turn his back on love, wouldn't have it as a gift. And she'd be left alone to pay the price.
