Ten years later and Lily is planning her wedding to the endlessly supportive and entirely symmetrical Jack. Ana is a fourth-grade teacher at the prestigious Horizon Academy, alma mater of her long-term boyfriend, who’s finally asked her to move in. Margot is about to land a life-changing promotion at ad agency McQueen O’Doul’s. It all looks good from here.

She turned down a promotion because he said the timing wasn't right. They'd just moved. The kids were settling in. The family needed stability.

Takes a call she doesn't tell him about. Schedules meetings he doesn't...
