Missa has arranged for her son, Zac, to marry the freshly 18 year old Ivy Wolfe. If he doesn't he will be disowned, and will not have a dime of inheritance. Zac adores his mother, and it would hurt him more for her to disown him, but he doesn't want to marry someone he doesn't love-- he doesn't even know the girl! Missa wants a grandbaby, and the meeting will produce what she wants the most, a little one to fawn over, as she did her own son.
