With the first auditions of the season coming up and her systems analyst job getting even more demanding, Elissa's super stressed, isn't getting enough sleep, and doesn't even have the time to enjoy her favorite foods. Her way of solving the problem? Jetting off to Taipei for a week of fun, food, and more sleep. Now that's a solution.

When the two meet and fall in love within a single night, it's perfect at first. But when it becomes apparent that it won't last forever, they can only hope that it does.
