Kaum hat Maddy Drew getroffen, erkennt sie in ihm den Mann ihres Lebens. Er ist schön, intelligent, freundlich. Er hat alles, einschließlich einer reizenden, sympathischen und wohlhabenden Frau. Mit ihren etwas zu runden Formen und ihrer roten Mähne, wie könnte Maddy ihm gefallen? Sie denkt nicht einmal daran. Ein Paar zu zerstören, ist nicht ihr Stil. Schade, das Glück ist nicht für sie bestimmt. Und doch schaut er sie auch an, lächelt sie an, sucht ihre Nähe. Und als er sie schließlich küsst, spürt sie, dass er es ernst meint. Was tun? Auf die Liebe verzichten, die man nur einmal trifft und die man ergreifen muss, aus Angst, bis ans Ende seiner Tage unglücklich zu sein? Oder hoffen, dass ein wohlwollendes Schicksal dieses Durcheinander ohne Drama löst?
