Summary

[Gina’s Story Part 2/3] How often do our exes actually go to therapy and what stars have to align to bring two people back together? In this chapter, we trace back through the wreckage of their first love to understand why everyone warned Gina not to reach out to Viv. As they each unpack their past and 1000 miles apart - from electric beginnings to devastating endings. Viv had finally found peace in solitude. Gina had found her groove. But one Facebook message changes the rest of their lives. All chapters are available ad free on Patreon: https://patreon.com/BrittaniArd Share your story with Brittani.
