On the outside, they seem like an unlikely couple. But looks can be deceiving and besides, opposites attract.What starts as friendship, turns into admiration, respect and caring, until finally these two lone souls find they are truly in love with each other.But staying in love is not as easy as falling in love. If Dylan and Gray want their love to last, they're going to have to work at it. And learn that sometimes love means having to say you're sorry.
