Plot – Nine years before, Julianne Potter and Michael O'Neal had to cope with the transition from lovers to "just friends": although Julianne has always approved the situation because of her way of thinking always in terms of days, Michael didn’t entirely accepted it. They have been best friends since college days, making a deal: if they couldn’t meet their soulmate within the age of 28, they would have married each other. At the time it looked like a funny joke, but maybe one of them wasn’t joking at all.
