Plot summary
Samantha is the editor of Jay, a Chicago novelist who is still raw over a breakup with Natasha and is writing a book about it. Jay introduces her to his oldest friend Max, a sportscaster who has never wanted to settle down, and the two hit it off so well that they are engaged within two weeks and Max moves in. A dream about waking up beside only Samantha for the rest of his life pushes Max to propose a test: Jay is to flirt with her, and a lack of interest from her would prove her loyalty to him. Jay refuses at first but soon meets her several times a week, and an earlier deadline for his book throws them together still more.
