I envied Oliver finding his place in Hope Cove. It doesn't take long before the heat ratchets up, and the feelings, too. Oh, he's had a random thought or two about guys over the years, but he's only ever been with women. And something about Oliver is making Mack feel things he's never felt before. Maggie and Mack were like brother and sister, not lovers.

He assumes he's straight, he assumes he was in love with Maggie, but you know how assumptions go. In the beginning, Mack throws Oliver for a loop. And it was desperately obvious that deep down Oliver has always longed for a family. I could completely understand Oliver's desire to visit Hope Cove to try to learn about his sister. The sister, hell the only family Oliver ever even knew he had. My heartstrings tugged, painfully, for Oliver when Mack showed up at his doorstep and told him about his sister, Maggie. \"There is no peace, though, is there? Rest in peace is one big fucking cosmic joke, because youre gone and everyone else is left to pick up the goddamn broken pieces that shattered all over the fucking place.\"
