The Hunting Wives

The week after the hunting evening, Sophie runs into Jill and her son, Brad, at the local grocery store. Sophie can’t help but notice that Brad is very handsome, and she imagines him in sexual situations with Margot.

Sophie feels hurt and left out when she sees a Facebook post featuring Margot, Tina, Jill, and Callie. She texts Tina to ask if Margot was upset when she left the night early, and Tina responds vaguely. Sophie decides to accept that she won’t be part of Margot’s group, and she texts Erin to make other plans, intending to refocus on the friends and relationships she already has.

The next day (five days after the hunting party), Margot abruptly texts Sophie to invite her to the lake house to sunbathe. Sophie is elated and hurries over.
