Christmas on My Mind
Lucy Lovett is the Executive Director of the non-profit Lovett Art Foundation in Portland, Maine, a position she took over after the passing of the Foundation's founder and former ED, her Aunt Audrey Lovett. On December 17, Lucy rushes out of the bridal shop in Portland with her wedding dress--and slips on the ice, falls, and hits her head. After getting up figuring that she feels all right, she heads directly to her hometown of Bedford Harbor, Maine, where she previously worked as a child art educator, to meet her fiancé Zach Callahan, who took over running one of his family's businesses, the Roadhouse Restaurant, following his father's passing. Zach is confused to see Lucy; they broke up almost two years ago on December 23 and he hasn't seen her since. After consulting local doctor Caroline Albright, Lucy learns that although she does not have a concussion from hitting her head, she has a case of retrograde amnesia, where the last thing she remembers is that day, December 23, two years ago, meaning she remembers nothing about her high-powered life chiefly fundraising for the Foundation, or her imminent New Year's Eve wedding to the Foundation's CFO, Brad Martin. Not wanting Lucy to receive an emotional shock in her recovery, Dr. Albright suggests that she do things she feels familiar with, like being in Bedford Harbor for the annual Christmas Festival which she always attended with Zach, to understand why she feels this way about her former, simpler life, and is blocking her past two years in Portland from her memory. Lucy's feelings for Zach are not only complicated by the fact of Brad, but by Zach now dating former Miss Bedford Harbor, Morgan LeBlanc, which she does not want to disrupt. As Zach's repressed feelings for Lucy start to re-emerge, he must tread a fine line between those feelings and reliving their painful break-up: Lucy discovering the truth of it could drive her away again.
