Quick recap

In London, Hardin learns Christian Vance is his biological father. He wrecks a bar and sets fire to the couch in his childhood home, and Vance takes the blame. Hardin sends Tessa back to the US alone, where she finds her father dead of an overdose. In shock, she shuts down, and Hardin stays close, pays for the funeral and makes peace with Ken. Tessa turns down his proposals and realizes she's losing herself trying to fix him. They split up, Hardin goes to therapy and Tessa moves in with Landon in Brooklyn. There, she finds Hardin's manuscript, After, about the two of them. In the epilogue, they reunite at Landon's wedding and build a family.
