What does love demand of us, and who must pay the price? - Joan Silber

High school sweethearts, Sarah and Warren, have grand plans for an adventurous future together. However, a misunderstanding causes them to part ways, leading them to marry other people.

When they meet again at sixty, their lives have taken very different paths. Sarah lives outside New York; Warren resides in Boston. Sarah is divorced, while Warren remains married, and both have grown-up children.

Upon reconnecting, they feel the rekindled spark of love and desire—a spark that has been dormant for so long. Will they be willing to risk destroying all that they have built separately for the chance of a future together?
