The opening stories introduce the characters Julia Warren and her friend Anna Miller, illuminating their close bond and the anxieties associated with young love and separation. At the startof the collection, readers are introduced to Julia and Anna as they face the emotional turmoil stemming from a recent separation and the looming questions of friendship and romance. Julia, in particular, struggles with feelings of loneliness and worry about maintaining her connection with Anna, who is moving away. The dialogue between the characters delves into the nature of love and friendships, exploring the distinct yet interlinked emotions they harbor for each other and the potential romantic interests they might encounter.
