May 2033 - Jenny Johnson is 31, Meg Stanton is 9, Padma Ramaswami is 14, Ricky Cormier is 38.

Jenny and Robert separated over a year ago after she told him about her affair with Ricky Cormier, and she moved to a small apartment on Main Street. It's the same building where she and Robert lived when Meg was a baby.

The divorce is taking a long time. Divorce always takes a long time, especially when there are children involved. But Jenny isn't contesting anything or fighting for custody; she knows the girls will be better off staying in the house with Robert. She's the one who's walking out on their family.

May 2023 - Robert Stanton is 22, Jenny Stanton is 21, Meg is 2 months.

When Jenny had thought about her senior year of college, she pictured parties and friends, flirting with boys and occasionally doing homework. But all of that changed the summer before her senior year when she realized she was pregnant.

Robert was the one who decided what to do. He always has a plan. She moved into his apartment in Providence, just a few blocks off campus, and they got married one fall morning at the courthouse.
