Rachel stops into a bar to get a drink after a rough day. She enjoys the drink, but then she sees a man at a table nearby and she's interested. She turns back to get another drink, then notices the man is gone from the table. He is soon beside her, though, and eventually they have a one-night stand. They agree to meet again the following year, but that it can only be these occasional meetings. After the second night, Rachel pushes for more and is denied. She packs her things and leaves.

Fast forward a bit and Rachel is starting a new job at her brother's law firm. Her boss turns out to be her companion from those nights. His name is Andrew and he admits that he doesn't want to see her with anyone else, but he's not sure if he is the right person for a relationship (add in the issue of him being her boss as well). This story is a super slow burn, but there is a happily ever after that made it worthwhile!
