There were sighs of relief last week when Harper (Jessica Redmayne) finally called off her wedding to Tane (Ethan Browne), having faced the fact that she would be committing herself to a loveless marriage.

Although Harper had been in love with Tane before they even slept together, it had become clear that their subsequent relationship and engagement had only come out of a sense of duty from Tane, when he discovered Harper was expecting their child.

It was clear to both Harper’s sister Dana (Ally Harris) and Tane’s best man Cash (Nicholas Cartwright) that Tane’s heart wasn’t truly in it, but Harper insisted on pushing ahead despite her own reservations.

Confronted early on by Cash over whether he was in love with Harper, Tane had already admitted that he wasn’t “in” love with her, but cared for her deeply and was sure it would come soon enough.

But it never did, at least not before the wedding, and Harper continued kidding herself despite admitting to Dana that Tane had never told her that he loved her.

The evening before the ceremony, Dana found her sister sobbing in her room whilst trying on the wedding dress, but it was clear that they weren’t tears of happiness.
