Wherever you are, could you please hook me up?" Her prayer is answered in the form of Ben Cooper (Benjamin Bratt), an investment banker who accidentally stumbles into her yoga studio and into her heart. The real drama begins when their romance begins to usurp Robert's position as their son Sam's father. Abbie is soon forced to decide whether she and her child should stay with Robert or start a new life...

The efforts expended during reading period do not compare to the workload of the average investment banker, but we are certainly expending more mental energy than we do on a normal basis. University Health Services attempts to assuage student discontent with seminars on stress management and healthy caffeine consumption. The dining halls take the opposite tack and try to pacify us with high-sugar junk food. Like...
