Taking a job in Scotland shouldn't be any different than Zoey's other jobs. Three months to dive into the intricacies of a university, find its shiny component, flaunt it to the world, and move onto another university. Her niche occupation has served her roving lifestyle well. Just because this job is in another country shouldn't affect her in any way. She doesn't count on liking it so much, on reconnecting with a friend from grad school, or on meeting someone like Celia, who puts up with all her quirks. Celia is sensible about love and knows that taking a risk on someone unaccustomed to permanence is probably a bad bet. Will the cynical wanderer and the reluctant romantic set aside their ingrained hesitancy to take a chance on love?
