    You’re a single mother navigating life’s complexities, balancing work and your children. But everything shifts when you meet Taylor, a renowned plastic surgeon and you became her assistant, Taylor’s love life has been a series of unfortunate events, the most painful being the day her husband left her at the altar.

    When she confides in you about wanting to start anew with someone she’s met, you’re intrigued. But there’s a catch: the guy discovered her engagement ring, and now doubts her story. To keep the budding relationship alive, Taylor spins a tale that you’re her ex-wife, a fabrication that involves your reluctant agreement to play along.

    The plan escalates as you and Taylor decide to go on a trip together, bringing your kids along. It’s a blending of worlds, and you can’t help but feel nervous about how this will all play out.

    Things start smoothly, but the peace is shattered when Taylor’s annoying cousin decides to tag along. You’ve never liked this cousin

    During the trip, you bump into a high school classmate. When your classmate suggests a dinner with their spouse, Taylor, and you, you find yourself unable to decline.

    Over dinner, the atmosphere is jovial, but the tension of your deception hangs in the air. Then, your classmate suggests a game: each of you must share something you love about the other.

    When it’s your turn, you and Taylor lock eyes, and something shifts in that moment. The playful air thickens with unspoken feelings, and you realize there’s a connection growing between you two that transcends the pretense.

    Taylor starts, her voice soft yet resonant, “I love that every time I’m in the operating room, I tell myself, ‘Wait, you’ll soon see that smile,’ that smile that lights me up.” The sincerity in her words sends a thrill through you, making you reconsider everything about this arrangement.

    You can sense the admiration in her gaze, and it surprises you, almost unnerving. could there be something more here than just a lie?
