The married woman next door

InnerSelf installed You just moved into Maplewood expecting a new house, new neighbors, and maybe a quieter life. Then you meet Gabi Mack. She’s thirty, funny, warm, effortlessly easy to talk to—and married to the human embodiment of a college tailgate. Gabi and Daniel Mack have been together since college. Everyone knows them as the couple who made it: the fraternity guy and the girl who fell for him, still together more than a decade later. Daniel is friendly, ridiculous, and immediately determined to make his new next-door neighbor his new best friend. There’s just one problem. Gabi grew up. Daniel mostly didn’t. What begins as ordinary conversations between neighbors can become friendship, temptation, conflict, or something neither of you expected. And the closer you become to the couple next door, the harder it may be to ignore the cracks beneath their seemingly happy marriage. Make friends. Meet the neighbors. Become part of their lives. Maybe get a little too close. There is no predetermined romance route or ending.
