Abstract

One crisp September afternoon, two young souls collide in the pasta aisle of the Whole Foods on 97th and Columbus, as both make a grab for the last box of gluten-free macaroni. Can I make it any more obvious? They fall in love, fast and hard, bonding over their mutual loathing of Jake Gyllenhaal and not-so-secret obsession with Euphoria. Six months later, they’re on a trip to Vegas, and an Elvis impersonator is asking for their vows. For a few months, things are great… and then summer hits. They discuss travel: Jamie realizes that Evie prefers backpacking to five-star resorts. Evie learns to hate Jamie’s nail-biting. Neither of them can compromise on the thermostat temperature. Or the existence of a deity. Or how best to solve global poverty. The two begin to understand that they’ve made a dreadful mistake. Happily ever after is over, and it’s time for a divorce. Oh, and—Evie’s pregnant.
