Nachdem Elise begriffen hat, dass sie wieder in ihrer alten Welt gelandet ist, möchte sie ihre zweite Chance nutzen, um die Fehler der Vergangenheit auszubügeln. Doch das wird nicht einfach, denn schon in Kürze steht ihre Verlobung mit Kronprinz Linden an.

Through an unexpected turn of events, Elise ends up staying at the Child family's home, something she never imagined would happen. While there, she and Juliane have a chance to talk and they begin to share things they've never told anyone before.

Elise suddenly has the chance to spend time with Ron. She is thrilled, and though he doesn't show it, Elise sends Ron's heart racing. During their date, they get caught up in an accident. Their hearts grow closer, but something weighs on Ron's mind.
