After the Rain, Never See You Again

Five years into her marriage, everyone tells Leah she has the perfect husband. Noah is gentle, attentive and endlessly patient — except when it comes to her best friend, Kayla. He scoffs at Kayla's requests, then quietly gives her exactly what she wants, and Leah tells herself it only means he cares too much about her.

Then a wall sconce falls while the two women are installing it. Noah rushes past Leah's bleeding arm to carry Kayla to the hospital, leaving Leah to sign her own forms and take a cab alone. At home, Kayla lounges with small bandages while Noah serves the clam chowder Leah had begged for, and the two of them disappear into the study together.

Watching them, Leah begins to wonder who the guest in her own bayside apartment really is.
