After We Collided

Hardin Scott is struggling emotionally after a tumultuous breakup with Tessa Young. He dismisses a homeless man attempting to engage him, reflecting his inner turmoil and detachment from the world around him.

Tessa starts her internship at Vance Publishing, eager to make a good impression. However, her first day takes a cringe-worthy turn when she meets her coworker, Trevor Matthews, setting the stage for future complications.

The owner of Vance Publishing, Christian Vance, recognizes Tessa's potential and invites her and Trevor to a networking event in Seattle. Their impressive presentation secures essential funding for the company, marking a significant achievement for Tessa.

After a night of drinks, Tessa calls Hardin, prompting him to rush to her aid at a nightclub. Upon entering her hotel room, he finds Trevor in a compromised state, leading to a heated confrontation between Tessa and Hardin fueled by their unresolved emotions.

The following morning, the argument from the previous night continues as both Tessa and Hardin express their regrets over their relationship's decline. Their emotional pain is compounded by the news of the funding secured from the businessman they met at the event.

Tessa returns to their shared apartment to gather her things, only to encounter an insightful moment with Hardin and his mother, Trish. Trish shares touching details about Hardin’s traumatic past, allowing Tessa to better understand his emotional struggles.

On her birthday, Tessa visits her mother, Carol, and learns a shocking secret about her father's past that leaves her feeling betrayed. In search of solace and comfort, she turns back to Hardin's apartment, reigniting their romantic connection.

During a holiday gathering at Ken's house, tensions rise as Hardin becomes increasingly drunk and confrontational with his father. Tessa shares her concerns about Hardin with Trevor, who warns her that their relationship may be heading towards disaster.

While the company is expanding, Vance approaches Tessa with an offer to join him in Seattle. This opportunity creates further strain on her relationship with Hardin as it raises the possibility of her moving away.

At a lively university party on New Year's Eve, miscommunication begins to fester between Tessa and Hardin. Tessa wrongly interprets Hardin's conversation with an ex as disloyalty, while Hardin is troubled by the prospect of Tessa choosing Trevor over him.

Hardin discovers a series of apologetic texts from Tessa only after charging his phone. Tragically, she experiences a car accident while reaching for her phone, leaving Hardin devastated and grappling with guilt over what might have caused it.

In the wake of Tessa's accident, Trish encourages Hardin to reflect on his relationship with her son. Strengthened by her support, he decides to attend Vance's farewell party, looking for a chance to confront his feelings.

At Vance's farewell party, a surprising engagement is announced between Vance and Kimberly, adding a layer of complexity to the gathering. Hardin prepares himself for one final confrontation with Tessa, who is still processing her emotions.
