HAPPY PLACE

KNOTT’S HARBOR, MAINE

The most important details in this text are that Sabrina and Cleo are two of the most important friends in the author's life, and that they were matched up by a housing committee in Vermont. Sabrina was a Manhattan heiress and Cleo was a painter daughter of a famous music producer and essayist. Sabrina had custom shirts made for them, inspired by their first inside joke. They loved their room in the rambling white-clapboard building, wandering the fields and forest around campus, and drinking spicy chai or decaf laced with maple syrup. The narrator grew up in a quiet house, where shouting only happened when their sister came home with a questionable new piercing or love interest.

Their best friends taught them a new kind of quiet, the peaceful stillness of knowing one another so well, and a new kind of loud: noise as a celebration, as the overflow of joy at being alive. The narrator is now happier and loving anywhere else as much, not until Sabrina brought them to her family's summer home on the coast of Maine.

REAL LIFE

Monday

Harriet is a nervous flier on a tiny plane that looks like it was made out of scrap metal and duct tape. Her guided meditation app has reached an inconvenient stretch of silence, so she repeats the prompt herself. The vast, brilliant expanse of the sky makes her heart flutter, and she is reunited with her favorite people in the world, in their favorite place in the world. The plane's wheels clatter against the runway, and some passengers in the back burst into applause. The grizzled seatmate who'd snored through the flight blinks awake and asks Harriet if they've seen her best friends since last summer.

The narrator is excited for their upcoming week with their friends, and is overjoyed to be reunited with Sabrina. Sabrina looks like a platinum Jackie O, with her perfectly toned olive arms and classic black pedal pushers, and her vintage silk scarf wrapped around her glossy bob. The narrator breaks into a jog across the sunlit parking lot to meet Sabrina, who has a poster board on which she's scrawled "SAY IT'S CAROL SINGERS" in her god-awful serialkiller handwriting. The narrator breaks into a jog across the sunlit parking lot. Sabrina and the narrator meet in a car, where Sabrina shrieks and hurls a poster at the car's open window.

They collide in an uncomfortable hug, and Sabrina gives the narrator a stern once-over. Sabrina compliments the narrator on their new face, and they fall into a comfortable kind of silence. Sabrina cackles and throws open the car's back door, then stuffs the poster in after it. The narrator and Sabrina have been together for five years and still have a muscle memory for how to share space. The narrator and Sabrina are driving to a lobster trap in the ocean.

The narrator is excited to be in the car with Sabrina, but dreads the idea of throwing a wrench into her plans. The narrator is doing scut work, which is exhausting, terrifying, and electrifying. The narrator enjoys the mundanity of cleaning, organizing, and checking off tasks on their self-made chore chart. The narrator is discharged from the hospital after a patient is discharged. The narrator is on a road trip in a pop-can car from the sixties with Sabrina, a cousin of theirs.

Sabrina asks the narrator if Wyn is good and the narrator replies that he is. The narrator drives up the pine-dotted drive to a cottage atop a rocky cliff, which is more like a mansion swallowed a cottage and then wore its bonnet and imitated its voice in an unconvincing falsetto, Big Bad Wolf-style. The narrator is impressed by the cottage, which is more like a mansion swallowed a cottage and then wore its bonnet and imitated its voice in an unconvincing falsetto. Sabrina brings the narrator back to her childhood home, where they made a PowerPoint about Brayden's worst qualities. The narrator is grateful for the free psychotherapy they received from Ms. Cleo James, who had just gotten engaged to Wife Number Two before they took the trip.

The narrator is the last one to arrive, and Sabrina cracks open the door and looks at the narrator expectantly. The narrator narrows their eyes and wonders if lawyers are supposed to be good at lying. Sabrina cracks open the door and looks at the narrator expectantly. Sabrina and Cleo's girlfriend, Kimmy, arrive in the foyer and greet the narrator. Cleo's soft voice and Parth's low chuckle are heard in the open kitchen-slash-living room.

Cleo's girlfriend, Kimmy, comes down the hall and greets the narrator. Kimmy guffaws, like she hasn't been there since day one, and Sabrina misses her. Harriet is surprised when Sabrina threads an arm through her and they perp-walk her down the hall. She stops hard and quickly, but her elbow hits Kimmy's ribs. Harriet is overwhelmed by Wyn Connor, her fiancé, and panics when she realizes he is here. Harriet is in her happy place, but realizes he is Wyn Connor, her fiancé.

REAL LIFE

Monday

The narrator and Wyn Connor have been engaged for months and have kept up a ruse that was supposed to end this week. Wyn has grown a beard and his hair has grown long enough to be tucked behind his ears, but it doesn't soften the hard line of his jaw or firm up his pouty lips. He has never called the narrator honey or Harry, but he has called the narrator baby in such a tender voice. When Wyn crosses the kitchen, he ropes an arm around the narrator's waist and hauls them up against him. The narrator's brain is on fire with random pieces of data flying at them like Hitchcockian crows.

Wyn and Parth are two opposites who have been together for a long time. Wyn is the restless son of two ex-ranchers, while Parth is a Photoshop good-looking lawyer with a long-term signature scent. Despite their similarities, it took them a long time to accept that they were in love with each other. Despite their similarities, it took them a long time to accept that they were in love with each other. Despite the height differences between Cleo, Sabrina, and the protagonist, they are still in love with each other.

Sabrina and Wyn are at a party where Sabrina is getting a bottle of champagne, but she is downright melancholy. Wyn's hands are caught on Sabrina's waist and he tells her and Parth that they have a couple of announcements to make.

The narrator has lost the person they expected to marry and moved across the country, and the narrator's house is all that's left of them.

Sabrina is a divorce attorney and spends eight hours a day surrounded by reasons not to get married. Kimmy pokes Cleo in the ribs and they celebrate, as Sabrina changed her mind. Sabrina Armas and Kimmy Armas have been together for eight years, and Sabrina is inspired by Harry and Wyn, who have been together for ten years and are making it work even while they are long distance.

Sabrina encourages Kimmy to be more open to love, as she believes that love can conquer all. Sabrina pops the champagne cork, and Kimmy feels like she is floating over her own body. Adrenaline is doing weird things to her, but the longer this goes on, the harder it will be to get out of their lie. Wyn and Cleo are getting married on Saturday with all their best friends. Kimmy throws two Takis at Sabrina's head, but she swats them away.

Parth is beaming with an amazing surprise for her, and Kimmy throws two Takis at Sabrina's head. Parth and Sabrina throw a blue Estelle champagne flute for a toast, and Wyn releases his hold on Harriet. Harriet thinks of her happy place, but it is too late.

HAPPY PLACE

MATTINGLY, VERMONT

Cleo and Sabrina have met their new roommate Parth Nayak, a senior at Mattingly College. He is known as the Party King of Paxton Avenue due to his reputation of throwing themed parties and having a habit of showing up at other people's parties with top-shelf liquor, a dozen beautiful friends, and an incredible playlist. Cleo and Sabrina are both natural leaders, but the real Parth is better than the myth. He loves people, throws parties, picks out perfect gifts, makes introductions between people he thinks should meet, and finds the quietest person in the room and brings them into the thick of things. As time wears on, people couple off into friendships and relationships.

The narrator is spending more and more time with Hudson, an American, to escape the constant pining for their friends and their corner apartment overlooking Mattingly's redbrick downtown. However, the romance between them is approaching its sell-by date and they both know it. The narrator spends two months in Indiana and then flies to Maine to meet their friends for Lobster Fest. When they arrive, they find Sabrina standing against the hood of a cherry-red sports car. He looks up and says, "Harriet?" His voice is velvety and sends a zing of surprise down the narrator's spine.
