Chapter 1 Summary: “Then”

Quinn goes to her fiancé Ethan’s apartment to surprise him after returning early from a business trip. She is struck by how strange it is that the doorman, who is usually friendly, doesn’t smile at her. When Quinn arrives at Ethan’s floor, she finds a man (Graham) already there. The man tells her that his girlfriend (Sasha) and Ethan are inside having sex, but Quinn doesn’t believe him. She says he has the wrong apartment. Graham clarifies a few details, asking if her fiancé’s name is Ethan and if he drives a blue Volvo. Quinn doesn’t want to believe it’s true, but soon, she and Graham hear loud lovemaking from inside the apartment.

As the pair wait for Ethan and Sasha to finish making love, Quinn processes what this infidelity means for her life and her upcoming wedding. She worries about her mother Avril’s anger at the implication of canceling the ceremony. Quinn is upset, but notices that Graham is better looking than Ethan. This worries her because she assumes it means that Sasha is more attractive than her.

While Quinn and Graham commiserate about their situation, a Chinese food delivery person arrives at the door with takeout.
