Underneath the daggers they throw and the sarcasm they speak to one another there lies a simmering attraction that just won’t go away! Over time tension builds from the mere thought of their first rendezvous until they sneak off again, with Alexa their mutual BFF being none the wiser. They both agree that after the wedding whatever they have going on will end, but when the wedding date is suddenly pushed up and 8 months become 3 months left of secret meet-ups, they find themselves regretting that soon it will all come to an end. They begin to question can two people so different actually have a connection pass the physical?
