In the third installment of "Love in a Puff" series, Jimmy and Cherie find their relationship has become somewhat mundane and stale after seven years together. Various events occur which put their relationship to the test, including one time being too tired to make love, a misunderstanding resulting from Cherie's pet dog copulating with a stranger's dog, the sudden appearance of Jimmy's attractive, and younger childhood friend Flora, a happenstance discussion about marrying to have kids, and Flora wanting Jimmy's sperm for artificial insemination. When an earthquake occurs while they are vacationing in Taiwan, it triggers a sequence of events that lead to Cherie deciding to break it off with Jimmy. During their time apart, they both reflect on what each wants out of their relationship. Jimmy realizes what he wants and comes to understand what Cherie wants, and then proposes to her.
