With no pretense of courage and a vague dislike for what she feels is the cheap availability of her emotions Olly grieves the husband she probably would have divorced while coping with the warmth and awkwardness of family trying (and failing) to distract her from their own grief. As she learns to rethink her life and her love she becomes close to Sam's brother Patrick and begins to realize Sam's recklessness and passion may not be as foreign to her as she thought.
