She doesn't need passion or excitement. Nope, she needs someone who'll be around through thick and thin. In a really predictable plot line, Grant's bosses insist that he bring his wife to a black-tie festivity. They want to meet her. Suddenly his chances at the junior partnership have just increased because he's a married man.
Grant is in a real bind.
He has to convince Katie to come to Miami to the party and pretend to be his lovey-dovey wife. Katie agrees to his blackmail scheme because if that is the only way Grant will sign the annulment papers, then she has no choice. At the party he loses more points with Katie as he tries to explain why no one has met her. Grant lies, telling everyone that Katie is a photographer who's always going to exotic locations for shoots. Katie is hurt that denigrates even her occupation.
