Til Death Do We Part February 7th
Ten years ago, Hanna and Harry Heart were enviable high school sweethearts in the lovely town of Amorville. And today, they're still the perfect couple. So it's time for this incredible pair to host their annual Valentine's Day soiree at the Mio Amore Cafe. All of their old friends from high school will gather to catch up with what has been happening with each other. However, dreadful scandals have plagued most people on the Hearts' guest list since the last time they gathered for V-Day. As a result, many have developed severe contempt for each other.
