That Night We Met

This is the story of two people who met, fell in love, and lived their happily ever after…or so they thought.

What happens after almost 30 years of marriage is not always the fairy-tale ending. It’s not crossing a finish line, but rather something you need to work for and work on. It’s work you must continue day after day, year after year, never stopping, never giving up, always, always working towards a common goal: happiness.

Happiness together, with the life you’ve built, happiness when there’s sadness, when there’s tension, happiness in knowing you’ll have someone who’ll always be there for you and with whom you’ll grow old with.

Relationships are not simple. They twist and turn and circle back and throw roadblocks up, testing you all the time. But it’s how you come out the other side of those tests that make the difference.

Reed and Nate Barlowe are a later-in-life couple who against all odds came together in the most beautiful of ways. Their life together has been one of joy and fulfillment, and they’ve truly become soulmates, despite their differences. She, spontaneous and always speaking her mind; he, more reserved and a little too serious.

They love together, they grow together, and they always find a way through. Until they can’t. But what would a love story be without a second chance?

Reed and Nate are at a crossroads and finding their way back to each other will make you see inside yourself more than you’ve ever wanted to before. They’re a couple whose love will shine through the layers of silence, make you growl with frustration or nod with understanding at the oh-so-common occurrences inside a marriage, but who will in the end show up for each other the way we all should for our partners.

That Night We Met is a gut-wrenching, love-inducing story of two people deep in the years of marriage who are just trying to make it work but can’t find common ground anymore.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and hopefully by the end, you’ll have more of an appreciation for love itself, if not for your own partner.
