All of the fun, none of the heartacheтАжas long as they stick to the agreement.
The proposition is simple: if ER nurse Claire Harper and her roommate, firefighter Graham Scott, are still single by the time theyтАЩre forty, theyтАЩll take the proverbial plunge togetherтАжas friends with benefits. Maybe itтАЩs the wine, but in the moment, Claire figures the pact is a safe-enough deal, considering she hasnтАЩt had much luck in love and heтАЩs in no rush to settle down. Like, at all. Besides, thereтАЩs no way she could ever really fall for Graham and his thrill-seeking ways. Not after what happened to her fatherтАж
Just as things begin to heat up way before the proposed deadline, GrahamтАЩs injured in a serious rock climbing accidentтАФand he needs ClaireтАЩs help to heal. SheтАЩll do whatever it takes to nurse him back to healthтАжeven if it means moving in to GrahamтАЩs bed and putting up with his little dog, who hates her. But with this no-strings arrangement taking a complicated turn, keeping тАЬfor nowтАЭ from turning into тАЬforeverтАЭ isnтАЩt as easy as theyтАЩd planned.
