Synopses

Early in the morning on her way home from a New Year's Eve party and a horrible breakup with her boyfriend, Rae let her emotions get the best of her as she hit a patch of ice and another car head on. After being rushed to the hospital she finds herself at the mercy of doctors and nurses for several weeks. Seeing that the accident caused trauma to her legs, she is forced to follow through with extensive physical therapy.

Elijah is just what the doctor ordered. He is a renowned local physical therapist who pushes Rae to her limit. After three weeks of cursing from pain, practical jokes, and making fun of each other, the two seem to have an undeniable love for each other. Each day after their hour long session, Eli and Rae would discuss interests, music, politics, old lovers (especially their recent breakups), and anything else that would come to mind.

Noticing Eli's weak spot for his patient, Sasha the receptionist, and Will the understudy, start questioning and pushing him to confront her with his feelings. In need of a new routine to help Rae walk again, and instead of the boring walker, he decides to rent a tux, buy roses, and surprise her with a slow dance as part of her physical therapy routine. Instead of meeting her in the office, he meets her at a near by dance floor where her friends drop her off and finally get to meet the man she's been talking about. The dance worked well as Rae finally wound up in Eli's arms. As a physical relationship took its form as well as the muscles in Rae's legs, no one was there to watch except for a lonely janitor and a CD player.

Not long after her recovery and release from physical therapy, Rae's old boyfriend, Alex, wished to make amends. Still having feelings for him made her forget about Eli, seeing that there was no commitment or any words said that implied that love was ever a factor. With much hesitation and hurt, Eli is forced to win her over with the help of Sasha, Will, and all Rae's friends. As, Rae's friends took her out to dinner at the Paramount Hotel in New York City, Eli hired a jazz quartet to play on the balcony as the two danced and he poured his heart out. (*Insert romantic scene for the evening here*)

As Alex is informed of the happenings of the evening through the grapevine, he shows up the next morning at Eli's office with a baseball bat. As Eli winds up in the hospital and Alex in jail, Rae finds it appropriate to help the man who has given her the ability to walk and the ability to love.
