Engaged to Rhett, she grapples with insecurities fueled by his lingering connection to his ex-girlfriend, Bianca. Despite their strained relationship and a recent argument that cut deep, Aubrey holds onto the hope that their love can endure, especially with their wedding looming. When Rhett invites her to lunch at his office, she sees it as a chance to finally bridge the divide between them.
