Several years after Lucy Kelson and George Wade fell in love, they now co-manage the Wade Foundation — a socially conscious real estate firm focused on sustainable development. Lucy remains a brilliant, justice-driven attorney, while George has grown into a more responsible, if still charmingly eccentric, leader. Their life together is mostly harmonious until Lucy receives a prestigious job offer to lead a major international environmental initiative in Geneva, forcing her to question whether her current life — and relationship — is truly fulfilling.
As Lucy considers the opportunity, tensions begin to surface. George, worried about losing her again, struggles to express how much she means to him without reverting to his old selfish habits. Things get more complicated with the arrival of a sharp and attractive new lawyer at the foundation, who not only challenges Lucy’s role professionally but also seems to have George’s attention — sparking feelings of insecurity and jealousy. At the same time, the foundation becomes embroiled in a legal battle over a controversial development project, putting their shared values and teamwork to the test.
When a scandal threatens the very future of the foundation, Lucy and George are forced to come together in ways they haven’t in years. Lucy leads the legal defense with her signature brilliance, while George surprises everyone — especially Lucy — by taking real initiative, confronting the developers, and making hard ethical decisions. In the process, they reconnect emotionally and professionally, realizing they’ve both grown — and that their bond is stronger because of the challenges they’ve faced.
In the end, Lucy chooses to stay — not because she needs George, but because she wants to build something meaningful with him. Instead of leaving for Geneva, she proposes creating an environmental advocacy wing within the foundation. George, in typical fashion, proposes something more personal: a “lifetime partnership contract” written in legal terms, equal parts romantic and ridiculous. They seal it with a kiss on the rooftop of their New York office, proving that love, like law, sometimes needs a few amendments — but it’s always worth fighting for.
