Chapter Two

Novelist George Schneider, 42, is trying to recover from his wife Barbara's death. They were happily married for 12 years. Meanwhile, 34-year-old actress Jennie MacLaine has just divorced her husband Gus. Wanting each to get on with their lives, George's brother Leo and Jennie's best friend Faye Medwick (who once dated) send George and Jennie respectively on a series of disastrous blind dates. Finally, Leo and Faye run into each other and suggest that George and Jennie go on a date. Both George and Jennie are reluctant, thinking that it'll be just another disaster. But they're pleasantly surprised with each other. After a fortnight's whirlwind courtship, they decide to get married. Jennie in particular realizes that she is the one who has the potential of being hurt if George is not ready to move on without Barbara, especially as they honeymoon in the same resort where George and Barbara once vacationed, and as Jennie will move into the house that was George and Barbara's home.
