"This story is told from Maggie's point of view and also from Jake's. He is caught off guard by a new female patient in the office of the psychologist where he and his partner were writing up a construction estimate. Maggie, the patient, mistakenly believes he's Dr. Golding and pours out her heart to him. At first he tries to tell her that he's not the doctor but each time he goes to open his mouth, she either starts another round of tears or continues talking. Meanwhile, Dr. Golding had just survived a heart attack and is now a hospital patient.
Maggie's life isn't going so well. She's no longer with the father of her young son. Her son suffers with ear infections and she's told he will need surgery to put tubes in his ears and also a tonsillectomy. She is barely eking by financially and doesn't know how she will pay the bills. Her job had promised insurance but they've yet to come through for her. Instead she receives threats that she is about to lose her job if she takes more than a few days off at a time. Her mother would give her the needed money for Tim's surgery but there would be strings attached.
Redundancy throughout with Jake trying to "work out" the when and the way he is going to approach Maggie with the truth of who he is and that he's not really Dr. Golding. In the meantime, they start dating and her friend and family are concerned over her seeing this "doctor." His family and work partner are also wondering what he's up to. They're both beginning to fall for each other. Yada yada yada.... Yawn."
