Meanwhile, Russell runs his own publishing house and clings to their downtown loft; Corrine manages a charity and is desperately searching for a larger home for their twins. Although they try to forget each other's past missteps, the memory of their friend begins to haunt them as Jeff Pierce's posthumous book gains a new following. Then, with devastating timing, Corrine's former lover unexpectedly reappears.
