Two for Dinner

As the Saturday night wears on, Joanne and Jack embark on a virtual dinner date, their connection bridging the distance between them as he works on location in Montana. With grown daughters and a marriage that’s stood the test of time, they’ve built a life filled with love and laughter. But when Jack fails to call the previous evening, claiming exhaustion after a long day of watching DVDs, Joanne senses a gap growing between them. His invitation to join him in Montana is met with skepticism, as she wonders if he’ll have time for her amidst his busy schedule.

Just as their conversation reaches a comfortable plateau, Jack’s connection drops out, only to return with an unexpected guest - another woman from the production team. Her brief hello and hasty departure leave Joanne feeling uneasy. Later, Jack reveals a possessive streak when another man shows Joanne some attention, raising questions about his priorities. As they sign off for the night, Jack’s exhaustion seems all too real.

The next day, Joanne takes matters into her own hands, deciding to surprise Jack in Montana despite her reservations. Arriving late at his accommodation, she’s met with an unexpected sight - another woman sneaking out the back door, leaving Joanne feeling like she’s walked into a scene from a soap opera.

As Caroline stands amidst the impressive gathering of accomplished women, her countenance conveys a mix of shamefaced guilt and poignant sorrow. The weight of their collective prestige serves as a stark reminder of her own shortcomings in comparison, further exacerbating the emotional toll of her last interactions with her mother, Clare, who met an untimely demise in a traffic accident en route to visit her daughter.

As the initial small talk gradually gives way to more substantive conversations, Caroline finds herself immersed in a sea of unfamiliar stories and confessions. The group’s shared experiences span topics as diverse as abortion, infidelity, and secret pregnancies – all serving as poignant reminders of the complexities and challenges faced by these strong women. Amidst this cathartic atmosphere, an unexpected package arrives mid-meal, further punctuating the evening’s emotional resonance.

As the gathering evolves into a celebration of sisterhood, the group breaks into a lively display of tap dancing, each woman choosing a scarf to serve as a tangible reminder of Clare’s enduring presence. The evening reaches its poignant climax with one attendee taking to the stage to perform a heartfelt song, penned by her own hand: “Regrets are like rocks that sink to the bottom.” This powerful refrain serves as a moving tribute to the late Clare, whose memory continues to inspire and unite these remarkable women in their shared quest for personal growth and collective understanding.
