New to the newsroom a happily married young woman, struggles to avoid risking her marriage when she experiences an unexpectedly strong attraction to a just met co-worker with whom she will be working regularly.

SYNOPSIS:

On a spring morning. Rylee and Mateo wake to delight in one another’s marital bliss. Later, however, on her first day at work, Rylee meets Kaleb and is immediately drawn to him. Concerned, Rylee talks with her lifelong friend, Amber, about her attraction to Kaleb. Amber says that has happened to her and all Rylee must do is to wait it out and it will lessen into a friendship.

Summer comes and Rylee and Kaleb are seen to converse casually across their desks. Rylee takes care to attend to her papers and avoid looking at Kaleb.

That fall, Rylee and Amber again talk. Amber asks about Kaleb and Rylee tells Amber she was right and that she just had to wait for her pleasure in Kaleb to mature into a friendship.

Later, Mateo and Rylee walk together holding hands, delighted in each other and the lovely day after which they return home for some intimate time together.
