In all his 29 years, Jackson Teller had only ever been in three relationships. One was with his first love, Tara Knowles. Another was with his ex-wife, Wendy Case. And then there was her…his biggest regret, his worst heartache, his light, his darkness, and the only one he could never truly let go. Her name was Missy Adams, and he would love her until the day he died. [Jax, OC]
