Summary
"She thinks we're on a date," Emily said, when the woman had gone, around a spoonful of something with figs in it.
"We're two friends having dinner."
"At a candlelit corner table for two and a half hours."
"It's a small restaurant, they're all corner tables."
"You ordered me the exact side I would have ordered, if I'd been allowed to keep reading the menu instead of being informed I'd taken long enough."
"That's not a date, that's paying attention."
"Mm," said Emily, in a tone that conceded precisely nothing, and ate the fig dessert, and did not, Andy noted, ever actually get around to saying it wasn't.
--
More than a decade after Andy had left runway, a chance meeting at a bakery reunites her with Emily, freshly divorced and pregnant with her second child. What follows is, of course, a love story.

Summary
This is the moment, Andy’s aware, that could tilt this whole charade into something else. This is the moment where she decides what she wants — the stability in a boyfriend, or the thrill of something new that fits more right than he ever has.
The shift that could light her whole life in flames.
OR: Andy’s cheating on Nate with Emily. It’s slipping out of her control.

Summary
“Have you ever been in love?”
It would’ve been best if she had lied. That’s probably what she should’ve done.
“Yes, I have”, Emily confessed.
Andrea sighed. A small, brief sigh. Emily heard it, still.
“How many times?”
Emily bit the inside of her cheek. She brought the glass to her lips and took a single sip of the wine inside of it. “Only once.”
(Emily Charlton spends twenty years in love with Andrea Sachs. And has never once thought Andrea might’ve ever loved her back. Until that moment comes, and Emily has no idea what do to with it.)
