Yeah, Barry is gold. Expecting his third kid and still lives at home, so I said he could pick up some door work at Lunar.

Thanks again, Fran. We all needed to get out and do something. You can spend a whole night scrolling through Insta and TikTok and you’ve only watched Americans make iced coffee and organize their fridges.

Really? Glad I don’t bother with social media.

You said I looked like a cow.

Gerda and John Cristow are in an unhappy marriage. This story is about interlocking love triangles and how societal conventions, large and small, impact on personal relationships, to the extent that whole lives are defined not by passion or desire but by duty and fear of going against the grain.
