Although many worlds and classes apart, the two have an instant connection and Gabriel quickly proposes marriage. Valuing her independence greatly, Bathsheba refuses Gabriel's proposal and moves away to start anew. However, as they both begin new chapters in their lives, fate endeavours to bring them back together.
