Chapter 1 Summary: “Alessandra”

Alessandra Davenport has become numb after years of coming second to the ambitions of her husband, Dominic. Although Alessandra has accepted these circumstances for years, she feels a growing resentment toward him because always prioritizes his work and his wealth ahead of her. Alessandra has invited her friends over to celebrate a financial milestone for her small pressed-flower business, Floria Designs, which she started online nearly two years ago. However, Dominic does not know about this, nor does he bother asking her about her dreams or ambitions. Alessandra reminds him of their 10-year wedding anniversary trip, which is coming up this weekend, and Dominic promises not to forget. When Alessandra retreats to their bedroom to sleep, Dominic stays in his office to continue his work.

Chapter 2 Summary: “Dominic”

Dominic deals with several small crises at work, but toward the end of the day, he faces a larger problem with tumbling stocks that might affect his company. He stays late to solve the issue, completely forgetting that he is supposed to meet Alessandra at home so that they can begin their 10-year anniversary trip.
