Plot
After her boyfriend Gary is hit by a car outside a Tiffany's store, Rachel wrongfully assumes he wants to marry after finding a ring box in his belongings. Unbeknownst to her, the box got mixed up with one of the men who performed first aid on him, Ethan.
Out of gratitude for saving her boyfriend, Rachel invites Ethan to her bakery, where the two bond. At Christmas, when both open their respective box, the mix-up is discovered by Ethan, who remains silent because his girlfriend Vanessa likes the earrings Gary bought. Gary on the other hand, who is amnesiac from the accident, thinks he actually bought the ring and makes a proposal. The next day, Ethan tries to meet Gary to retrieve the ring, so he can finally propose. Stuck with Rachel because Gary is stuck at work, the two spend another evening together.
The day after, Gary refuses to return the ring, however; when Rachel goes to the store to get cleaning tips, she finds out that the ring was actually bought by Ethan. Gary reveals that he immediately knew the ring wasn’t his, but realized he wanted to marry her, so he went through with the proposal. Questioned by Rachel, he says he still wants to marry her. Rachel meets Ethan at her bakery and tells him Gary will return the ring to him, after which he can finally make his proposal.
At New Year's Eve, it is revealed that Gary actually met Rachel because he was on his way to a hook-up, causing her to break up with him. When Ethan and Vanessa simultaneously arrive, the latter realizes that Ethan lied to her for days, angrily storming off. During their argument, they realize they have different plans for the future, and also decide to break up.
Ethan and Rachel meet and kiss, starting a relationship. A year later at Christmas Eve, Ethan proposes to her with the ring she accidentally received a year earlier.
