|summary=Jo and Lawrence are looking forward to a life of retirement together. It's a little bit daunting but it's also exciting to look forward to all the new opportunities that life might bring. At least it was until the night of Lawrence's retirement when he drops a bombshell on Jo completely out of the blue. It looks like that idyllic retirement may no longer be an option.

}}

Jo and Lawrence have been married for nearly forty years. It has been a good marriage and they are both looking forward to spending more time together and pursuing new interests once Lawrence has retired. However, as the time approaches Jo notices that Lawrence appears more edgy and withdrawn. She puts it down to pre-retirement nerves; nothing to really worry about. So, when Lawrence makes a confession to her immediately after his retirement party, she couldn't have been more surprised. She realises that her husband has been living a secret life and that changes everything: instead of anticipating their rosy future together, she's now looking forward to the prospect of life as a single woman.
