His Promise is basically the first 3rd of a book, about a couple that promised each other to hold on... but didn't. Years later, they came back together. Things changed, as they both realized neither were totally at fault, while believing the other was at fault... and the truth was somewhere in between... Though the devices used are pretty... trope-ish.
Kim and Bruce were inseparable as teens and have promised to wait for each other... Then when Bruce went off to medical school, and didn't come back, Kim married someone else. Years later, when both returned to town after Kim's divorce, they tried to avoid each other, but both have a lot to say, each believing the other left and broke the promise... but each found that it wasn't the whole truth, and each wanting to find what will they do about such...
With way too much left to say in the subsequent values, this can, at best, be considered a teaser volume.
