The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJack and Sally arrive for dinner as if it were any other night, grousing about the highway and picking a restaurant. Then, before the coats are even settled, Sally says they are splitting up. Gabe tries to laugh it off; Judy cannot. Jack keeps calling the split mutual, calm, even a positive step. The scene is the first crack: a long marriage announced as small talk, and a friendship that refuses to treat it that way.
