The two develop a relationship of mutual benefit – acting as though they are a couple in hopes that they will both get what they want. Laurie wants Dan to see the mistake he made and come back to her. Jamie has requested to be made a partner in the firm, but has been told his playboy lifestyle would not get him there. A chance elevator breakdown with her law firm’s playboy Jamie leads to drinks together and a frank discussion about what is happening in their lives. Needless to say, Laurie is grief-stricken and humiliated but trying to carry on with life. He assures her there is not another woman involved, but has to take a step back from this when he announces ten weeks later that he has met someone from a competing law firm and they are expecting a baby together. Then, out of no where, Dan announces to her that he’s leaving her to “go find himself”. They have a mortgage, successful careers and have recently discussed starting a family. Laurie is a 36 year old successful lawyer who has been in love with her boyfriend and co-worker Dan for the past 18 years. If I Never Met You is a beautiful story of friendship, heartbreak and self-discovery.
