Happy Wife

In a flashback, as Will and Nora grow closer, the Winter Park gossip mill grows even fiercer—Nora feels as if she can’t go anywhere without people watching her and resenting her for her relationship with such a prominent citizen. Worried that news of their relationship will reach Will’s ex-wife Constance, Nora asks him to stop being so affectionate towards her in public. Will reveals that he has already told Constance about them, surprising Nora, who takes it as a sign that he is more serious about her than she thought. Will suggests that they take a trip to New York City to escape the gossip mill in Winter Park.

Nora and Will spend a romantic, luxurious weekend together in New York City visiting museums, eating at expensive restaurants, and enjoying as much public affection as they want. While in New York, Nora allows herself to imagine what it would be like to be with Will full-time. On their arrival back at Winter Park, Will promises Nora that they will return to New York at Christmas. Nora takes this as confirmation that he is also thinking about a future with her.

When they arrive at Will’s house, Nora discovers that Will’s ex-wife Constance has stolen the most expensive wine in his cellar.
