Dannie gets put on a big case at her law firm and works through the entire weekend. The managing partner who hired her, Aldridge, has become a mentor to her over the last few years. Dannie reflects on how she likes the precision and clarity required for corporate law. She thinks about how well-suited to each other’s careers she and David are. They’re okay only seeing each other in passing for long stretches of time, and she appreciates the ease of their relationship as well as the shared values. She decides to call a wedding planner first thing in the morning.
