From the back cover

Julia finds an earring wedged in her husband Frederick's car — the kind worn by Tessa, his only female student. He explains he was driving students home in the snow, but Julia stays calm, and her calm unsettles him. Once, she screamed and threatened to leave over Tessa; after a miscarriage, he promised never to be alone with the girl. Now she feels nothing.

At home on their fifth wedding anniversary, Frederick presses her: why doesn't she care? Julia says she wants nothing from him.

When Tessa calls, crying about a car accident, Frederick refuses to go himself — then slips out anyway.

Julia lies awake, laughing, recalling how she once pursued him, how his physics career consumed their marriage, and how he finally told her to stop bringing him lunch.
