Madge McLellan was captivated by the sexy, muscular Patrick Musselman. He seemingly had no interest in her. A passing hello on Sundays at the church was the only acknowledgement from him that she existed at all. Patrick was completely oblivious to his effect on the female gender. He felt the one encounter he had with a woman was enough, and thereafter kept his distance from them. When his sister learned she had cancer and that her time was limited, she and Madge's father became matchmakers. The result proved to be the best thing that ever happened to Patrick and Madge.
