They meet during a false alarm at the bank and then he assists her with a car problem. But when his aunt receives a foreclosure notice on her house, Chris is angry with Barbara for not warning him that his aunt was behind on her payments.<\/p>\n<p>She agrees to help him work out the problem with the bank, but the deeper issues between them keep flaring.
