Emma and Tucker met in a bar. He helped her when she had a bit of problems with her clothes and they end up having a one-night stand. Each goes on with their lives, but Tucker is struggling and seeks out the help of a therapist. He goes to the office and the therapist that he is assigned is Emma. Of course, professionally, she should have discharged herself immediately but instead they go ahead and have a session. It's uncomfortable and awkward and again, they should have never done it. Instead, while continuing a relationship outside of the office, Emma and Tucker also continue to have a therapeutic relationship and it's almost to the point where it's hard to tell which is which (except for the setting in the office). It's also unclear by the end of the book where Tucker is with his healing but they have established a love relationship that seems helpful to him.
