## Character Background

Payton was born to a wealthy family. Her father is always busy with his business and never had time for his family. Her mother Emily is very critical of her and they do not get along mainly because of how she always put pressure on Payton and also because of her often mistreatment towards those of lower social class, including Payton's best friend Kate. Payton however does not share her mother's snobbish attitude towards the less fortunate than herself.

## Relationship

### Emily Vaughn

Emily is Payton's mother who is very critical and judgmental. Emily expects perfection from her daughter, wanting her to marry into a rich family and be a trophy wife much like herself, which Payton almost did when she almost married Brad Eastman. Unlike her mother who kept on sweeping her father's affairs under the rug, Payton broke things off with Brad when he cheated on her. Her mother did not accept her decision and kept on pushing her to get back with Brad. She even tried to discourage her and Cruz' relationship, saying that one day she will see that Cruz is just like her father, always putting his business first. In the end, she somewhat supported her daughter when she decided to go to law school and is mentioned to be present at her wedding to Cruz.

### Kate Matthews

Kate is Payton's best friend since elementary school. Like any other best friend, they are each other's closest confidant and are very supportive of one another. She was the maid of honor at Kate's wedding to Dominic Sorensen and after she married Cruz, they became sisters-in-law.

### Brad Eastman

Brad is Payton's ex-fiancé. Brad and Payton bonded over their pressuring families but Payton later realized that they were only together because that is what was expected of them. Payton called off their engagement when she found out about his affair and when he tried to win her back, she refused as she was in love with Cruz Sorensen. They remained good friends after the Mexico trip and he supported her decision to take the LSATs. When he got a new marketing job in New York, he asked her to come with him and start over their relationship but she refused him due to her feelings for Cruz.

### Cruz Sorensen

Payton and Cruz first met at Kate and Dominic's engagement party. They initially disliked each other. They were thrown together when Kate asked Cruz to look after Payton on her flight from Texas to Puerto Vallarta. However, their flight got cancelled and they had to take a road trip. During their road trip, Payton and Cruz got to know each other deeper and even got married when they got drunk on Tequila. Though the marriage wasn't legal, they both realized that they have fallen in love with each other. However, they parted ways after Kate and Dominic's wedding because she realized he will be busy with the new project he got for his family's company and they both agreed it wasn't the right time for them to start dating. Although they loved each other, they were both convinced that the other doesn't feel the same. Payton rejected Brad's offer to start over together in New York because she still loved Cruz, regardless of how he felt about her. She got jealous and hurt when she ran into him and his ex-girlfriend, Becca, thinking that they were back together. Cruz finally told her how he felt about her and proposed to her again at a hockey game. She accepted and they got married. They later went on a honeymoon to Mexico in a rental car similar to the one they took during their first road trip.
