Just when Caroline and Simon think they've figured out their smoking-hot relationship, real life gets wonderfully messy—long work hours, globe-trotting assignments, and suddenly way too much togetherness throw their careful balance into chaos. While designing a stunning hotel renovation in Sausalito and navigating a demanding boss, Caroline discovers that reunion sex is fantastic, but actually building a life together? That's the real challenge. With their friends' romantic adventures playing out in the background, these two have to figure out if they can trade the thrill of absence for something deeper and more permanent. It's a delicious exploration of what happens when the honeymoon phase collides with the real work of making a relationship stick.
