Story

The story

For seven years, Luke Everett has loved Clementine Knaupper, proposing marriage seven times only to be refused again and again. Then, over dinner, she suddenly asks to marry at once, confessing she is two months pregnant with her assistant Stanley Brickley's child. She begs Luke to raise the baby as their own and send Stanley away.

Luke calls off the engagement, offering her a choice: marry Stanley and pay what the contract demands, or end the pregnancy and cut ties with him. Clementine calls him heartless, insisting the affair was an accident and that she loves only him. Luke asks for one week to decide.

At his birthday party, Clementine abandons their first dance to rush to Stanley, leaving Luke humiliated before friends and family. Watching her go, he steps onto the dance floor and cancels the opening dance himself.
