Instead of the original plan of Rich making the trip, Pan goes into town in part to pick up a package for Rupert. While there, Pan picks up an aristocratic sounding British woman. In actuality, she picks him up. They spend a memorable night together, but by morning, she asks him not to mention that they know each other to anyone if asked, let alone that they had sex. Pan later learns the reason: she is a distant cousin of Rupert's named Olivia Mowat - she being part of the package he is supposed to retrieve for Rupert - who has come to marry her cousin, who she's never met but knows by reputation. Olivia has her own reasons for entering into this marriage despite she and Rupert not being an obvious match. As Pan and Olivia travel back to the ranch, they get to know each other. Pan is slowly falling in love with her. But Olivia has her own plans regardless of what happened with Pan. When Olivia finally meets Rupert, she has to decide if her original plans are still valid enough to go ahead with the marriage. And Pan has to figure out what to do about his feelings, he never having been a commitment minded person. He hopes that Gloria will be true to form and "meddle" in the name of love.
